You can chunk down the entire task into smaller 30-minute tasks and put an alarm for every 25 minutes and the next 5 minutes. So every 25 minutes you do the focused work and 5 minutes you take a break. You come back, you complete the work for the next 25 minutes, take 5-minute Take 4 cycles of this and then take a longer break of 30 to 40 minutes. When you do this and you come back, your brain will not have to use a lot of energy and willpower to do something at a stretch because it knows that now I get deliberate break after every few minutes. So when you set this up for yourself, you set your brain up to chunk down the larger task with breaks in between already planned for it. And it will not use up a lot of willpower and energy, and it will make you more and more productive. Try this because I have tried it a lot of time and it definitely works.
