Good for you to have figured this out! This is how I always work, and I am as productive as I can be because I only do what's on top of my mind. I've also learned that if something is never on top of my mind it's because it's not worth doing, so it gets filtered away automatically.
I probably am in a privileged position to be able to do this (greenfield research in the private sector), but I just love it.
