I find it easiest to do a binary transition from "on the computer", which is full of frenzied multitasking, snippets of articles, and no attention span; all the way to "off the computer", where I'm taking a walk thinking about stuff, or sitting at a diner or coffee shop jotting down ideas on a piece of paper (not on a laptop, tablet, or smartphone!).

It's trickier to figure out what to do about on-computer productivity, for those of us whose productivity often involves actually using a computer as well. I've resorted to actually writing out code on paper! Perhaps some sort of non-multitasking environment with a full-screen code editor would be a solution also, though.
