When I first realized I had to get effective in life, some years ago, I began learning time budgeting. This is where you look at what you have to do in a day, figure out how long it will take, and divide up your day so that you can do each task, and all of them in the right order.
One thing I like about pipe smoking is that it makes it easier to budget time. "I'll do (this thing) for the next hour and a half while I smoke this bowl of Royal Yacht" is a fairly typical thing to mutter around here. I have one giant billiard for sticky tasks, and a couple of smaller pipes for short bursts of activity.
If I need to do something really burly (but not necessarily Burley, although usually) I'll set out a few loaded pipes in a row, like a rifleman on the walls of Alamo with his long guns, so I can fire 'em off in a chain and get the job done.
