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.
tried this also, though it didn't work for me, reason I mention that is if you decide to try any suggestions in this thread as it unfolds, don't then disregard them all - try another suggestion. You'll most likely find one that works, and when it does and you see productivity soar, you'll be so glad you did
