My main philosophy for being more productive is simply to have fun, even when you're doing the smaller boring tasks. Researcher Yu-kai Chou has figured out how to do this using the addictive frameworks games use to draw players in to hours of play.

He explains all the strategies in his book 'Actionable Gamification', which I break down in this video.
