Can you elaborate on how setting time limits helps?

You say, I'm only going to work on this for 3 hours, then I'm done, and you don't allow yourself a second more. If I don't finish, tough luck, try harder next time. It forces you to focus on the essentials.
Setting time limits also forces a faster pace. When there are no time limits, a person can keep filling up time with work subconsciously.
