only way i can focus is when the deadline in an hour away. up until then, it's all research/development time.

if you like This American Life, give this a try:

it's more big-picture science oriented, but really well produced and thoroughly fascinating.

As cliche as it sounds... Todo lists keep me focused. Anytime a job or task seems too overwhelming and i keep procrastinating it to later in the day, or another day, or another week altogether, i can usually get it done by just breaking it into minuscule chunks and doing it a little piece at a time.
Staying focused is just as straightforward as having willpower for anything else though, really... throw on a good album, cut the outside interference (set your email to check every hour, turn off your twitter client, etc) and you should be good to go...

On the to-do list topic, nothing amps me up more to keep productive and bang out another task than seeing a piece of paper in a moleskine/daytimer with another item ready to be crossed off. and I mean physically cross it off with a fucking black sharpie or something like: "Fuck you, task, I have destroyed your existence."

I just throw on NPR - TAL is good. BBC radio as well.
I find that downloading or streaming podcasts can be a distraction - but if i just stream live radio i don't fuss over it as much.Also on occasion if it's really bad I stop and clean my desk for 10 minutes. It gives me a timed distraction that also helps me stay focused when i get back to the task at hand.
(only works if you suck at keeping your desk clean...)
