Starting the day with a new TODO list. Not only does it give a clear plan for the day, it also keeps me from idling too long with distractions like reddit or HN. Whenever I'm done with a task and find myself chatting or browsing the web, I just refer to the todo list to get me back on track. It takes about 2 minutes and it's well worth it.

Yep I do this everyday. I used to think TODO lists were for people who weren't disciplined enough to get stuff done. But it keeps me concentrated on what task needs to be done instead of reading every blog post in the world.
