For me, requiring longer sittings is often a problem.
I need a lot of time to get going and feel like I'm "in to it", be it work, reading, playing a game, playing an instrument; it can take up to an hour, sometimes even more. During that time, I have concentration problems and can be distracted easily. If distracted, it takes longer to get going.
But boy, after I reach "The Zone"... you'd better not disturb me or I'll bite your head off. At that point, I keep going and going, even hating breaks or having to eat; because such a disruption snaps me out of "The Zone", and I require up to an hour again to get started again.
When I'm on a roll, I also read (and work) faster and faster. Hours seem to become minutes and at some point I even feel that I stop thinking consciously. I often had that when writing reports during my college years. I've been known to write over 50 pages for some reports in under 8 hours.
