If your plans work first time, sure. Mine never do.

I'll spend half an hour working out how I'm going to solve this problem, write code for 15 mins, decide that the solution won't work, try another approach, experiment with that other thing I read about, get something working, then clean it up and write some proper tests, etc.

I need real focus and concentration for a few hours to make this happen, even if it's just implementing yet another login system that I know the logic for completely.

YMMV
