Tasks tend to take the time allocated for them
The fewer things we need to do the more time we spend on them. We tend to procrastinate before start doing the task, because we realize that have plenty of time to accomplish it. Multiplying all similar situations you will discover that lots of useful time is lost forever. The decision of this problem is in assigning more tasks to each day. Having a lot to do creates a healthy sense of pressure on us. If you give yourself one thing to do during the day, it will likely take all day to complete it, if you have two things to do you will likely accomplish both and if you give yourself twelve things to do during the day, you may not get all twelve done but may complete seven or eight of them and have less interruptions during their accomplishment.
