The following strategy worked for me for a while, though not anymore: I resolved that, before interrupting a productive activity, I would write down what I was about to do and note the start and end times, thus keeping an accurate log of interruptions.
Good luck! (You’ll need it.)

This works for me (ish) when I bother to stick to it.
Works less well when my goal is less clearly defined and will take more than an hour.
