I used to have that problem.
I created a solution that works for me.
I used a countdown timer. I will set it for 50 minutes and then start it. I will work hard, forcing myself to focus on the task at hand for those 50 minutes then I will take a 10 minute break, check email, read the news, piss, get water, flog my dong, whatever. As the next hour starts I set it for another 50 minutes and get back at it.
It helps you stay focused and gives you a small reward for working for that hour.
