I can focus for more than 12 hours at a time... if I love what I'm working on.

When I find myself distracted, I use the pomodoro technique. I set a kitchen timer for 30 minutes and leave it in another room. In those thirty minutes, I am not allowed any distractions - no facebook, no email, etc. I just focus on one task until it's complete. When the timer goes off, I have five minutes to relax or work out. Then I set the timer again.
