I actually have the opposite problem, focus burns me out and bores me so I quickly become unproductive. I'm usually only able to push things forward and finish my projects when I have 5 things in front of me so that there's at least one to "distract" me at any given time.

This in practice only works well if I'm taking good notes which becomes a good defense against colleagues taking me out of the "zone". Very little of me working memory is volatile and that goes a long way.

yes , I believe what most of us forget to do is taking notes , that can stop us from going off track and another important point is writing down mini goals for the day, I tend to stay more focused when I have written down my todo's for the day.
But I think you have this interesting problem , focusing so much that it burns you out, I would like to have that sort of issue. :)
