I organize my life around not being interrupted. Work from home, respond to messages when I get to it.

When I have an idea or thought that might interrupt, I write it down quickly on an ideas board or my notes for later and discard the thought.

When I get tired I sleep. When I'm working on something I am in a flow state. When I feel myself leaving a flow state (or bored?) I take a break. Progress is unpredictable. There is no such thing as finished, only ongoing or back burner or dead.

Thanks! I'll keep in mind to write down more.

Also you are right about the fact that for some tasks/projects "finished" is not a real state.
