Ok, if you are trying to get 4 hours work done a day and failing miserably then you need to plan it out better. First off find out when you are at your most productive and schedule that time for working.
Use a spreadsheet and block 5 to 6 hours into 20 minute sessions and assign your work load across those 20 minute intervals putting your most important tasks first.
Start with working 20 minutes and reward yourself with a 5 minute break (use a Pomodoro for tracking time). Rinse and repeat.
Refer back to the spreadsheet at the end of every session to mark it as complete and move on to the next.
Once you have a few days success under your belt slowly increase those 20 minute sessions until they are 45 minutes long.
If all you manage to accomplish in the early days is a couple of hours of actual work a day at least you are working on your most important tasks first so moving forward.
The 12 Week Year is a good book. Use the scheduling and analysis recommendations within it and it should keep you on track. It is all about building a consistent daily habit so the more you do the easier it will become until you will be a productivity ninja or you fall early on and don't get back on the horse.
Why 1001 days? Is it called that just to be catchy? 1095 would be more appropriate as at least it equates to 3 whole years.
