It is better to know when you are most productive. some people are more productive with respect to work at night rather than day time. So first of all, get to know your most productive time and second thing is to ignore all distractions. Set preferences to all the things you want to do. most important task should be at top of the list. As you feel that you are getting tired or bored of work, take a little break and start working again. in this way you wont get fed up of your work.
