I find the pomodoro technique really useful.

Just the simple thing of having a countdown timer going makes me focus on the task at hand and restricts my procrastination to the breaks, which I also limit in length using the timer.

I'm currently using 45min working periods with 15min breaks, I've found that's the best balance for me after experimenting with various combinations.

I have heard a lot of good things about the pomodoro technique.

If you're working from home in which your bosses are not around, you need something to kick your butt. This technique really helps on that regard.
