I used to have a business planner on my computer, where I kept long term and short term goals with a beeping reminder. If I wanted certain things done by a certain date, I would enter them on the calender and do them according to priority. This worked well as long as I didn't get sick or had to travel unexpectedly.
I have not worked on a tight schedule in a long time, but for what it's worth I have found that 3 to 4 hours a session is about as much painting I can do before I start to make careless mistakes. The minute I feel I am drifting, I read E mails or do other art related things.
Being a morning person, the most productive time is from
7 am through around noon. That still leaves plenty of time in the afternoon for other things. I have sketchbooks in my car and by the TV which allows me to practice my drawing skills (same goes for reading material).
I think it is important to lead a well balanced life, where time is set aside for business activities, hobbies, family and friends. With a bit of time management and a certain degree of flexibility anything is possible.
