What helps me is doing small prep steps.

E.g. doing a rough structure and hen it feeds my brain in the background, helps when the burst comes :)

It's not that much the deadlines for me though, really just need to have good days where I suddenly lock in.

Also helpful: boring "entertainment". Stops me from browsing twitter, boring enough to peel myself away from very easily again. E.g. twitch streams or sitting outside.
