A few things that I've found helpful:

1. I start my day a couple hours later than typical for my organization. This both lets me work quieter hours and shaves time off my commute.

2. From 2 p.m. on is reserved as "Real, Actual Work" on my calendar.

3. I check email a few times a day. Any other time, Outlook is closed. Those who need me immediately can call my phone or visit my desk.

4. At least once a week, usually Friday, I work either as late as I can or until I reach a suitable milestone. The clock doesn't matter.
