Though not applicable to every job situation out there, I found the biggest leap in productivity for me was to crate a rule of "write down 3-5 things you must do today. When those are complete, you are done working for the day".
I find myself completing the tasks around lunch, and aggregately accomplish 2-3x more than when I had fuzzy goals. Procrastination is limited, knowing I can (go to gym/eat with kids/play golf) when the work is complete.
