Really great thread. Read it a few times now just did not comment yet.
I would also agree to limit ICQ etc. as suggested or like myself I only allow certain periods during the day for such things unless highly required. I have found no real need to check email, stats, instant messaging, whatever more than a few times a day max and with things like stats and such it is much less. Guess this falls under time management.
I also would add in to stick to as few projects as possible. I think to much is wasted with future ideas or distractions. Getting a new idea and buying a domain for it and such. Maybe working on it a little bit and then getting another idea and doing the same. Eventually you end up with a bunch of unfinished or half assed projects, a huge outgoing expense in domains and scripts. You name it. When in reality you would of been better off hammering one project until it was as perfect as you could make it. (do not go to far other way though either - do get it out there working)
