Admitting defeat does not mean surrendering your priorities. It means being honest with yourself about what they are and building a tolerance for the pain of neglecting other things. One technique is to have a two-to-do list system: a master list with everything you want or need to do, and a short list with only five slots. You can only add something new to the short list once you have completed one task. This creates a bottleneck in your workflow and helps you realize that you were already making most things wait while you focused on one task. Setting achievable low-level goals for a day or a few hours of work can be helpful in creative work like writing.
