What's helped me is picking one option, then sticking with it until you reach some natural milestone that allows you to move to something else if you wish.
Professionally, it means I only do one priority at a time. When I'm unproductive, I'm almost always thinking about all the useful things I could be doing, rather than doing one of those useful things.
This doesn't mean you can only have one priority. I often have different priorities in different domains. For instance, I have some barbell goals in the gym that are independent than work goals. I just don't set multiple goals in the same area.
I often leave small things undone while focussing. This may or may not be a good thing. If I leave it too long, the clutter becomes distracting and I start thinking of other ideas.
