Nice one and good advice.
Something else that helps me is at the end of each day (work wise) to right down my most difficult task for the next day. When I start work the following day I then have to complete this task, called my FROG, before doing anything else. I have 2 hours autofilled in my calendar each morning to ensure I can at least get started on the task at hand. Very effective :)
