The pomodoro technique helped me enormously. I don't follow it strictly, I just set the timer and focused on one task until timer is done. I never worked the duration up, I still just do 25 minutes or less. I even put websurfing in a 25 min bucket, then stop.
I ended up learning how infrequent real emergencies pop up. Which in turn, got me to stop looking at my phone at red lights.
