I get bored easily, so if I just did one thing all day it would end up being rather unproductive because I'd constantly find other things distracting me. I find the best way is to have 2 or 3 different kinds of things going at once; going back and forth between them keeps me interested, but it's not so much that I feel overwhelmed.
I do, however, have to have structure within that, so I'll block out what I'm doing either by chunks of work; for example do 2 pages on the LL then move to something else for a while, or time - spend 1 hr doing this then switch to that. Setting self-imposed deadlines is a good way to keep things flowing too - try giving yourself a little treat when you've finished a project/met a deadline to give you some incentive. Chocolate usually works for me
When I'm really engrossed in something however, that all goes out the window
You have to have some flexibility to fit in the everyday stuff too, because if you just ignore everyone they'll think you don't like them anymore or have forgotten them or something
