1. Agendas for meetings - make them, stick to them, and make sure you only invite relevant people, cut them when the time is up too
2. E-mail - check it three times a day and turn off the auto alerts - that's first thing, lunchtime and last thing at night - it's the world's biggest time killer
3. Work out when you are most productive and book it as work time in your Outlook diary and communicate that you are not available at this time - then get the real work done
4. Time wasters - it's usually people - give them positive requests to go away, "Do you know what, I'm really busy at the moment and I'd really like to give you my full attention, can we schedule some time to discuss this later?"
5. Prioritise, a simple urgent/non-urgent and important/not important pair of axises and work out what needs done and when, ditch unimportant stuff, and work out what you can delegate elsewhere and do it.
If you can manage that lot, you'll be more productive and better at achieving things than I am! ;-)
