I like being left alone by my boss. I have three or four things to do, and I switch between them fairly frequently; I'm quite disciplined about it, actually - I work on something for a maximum of two days, then I switch to another project completely and work on that. I discovered my problem with finishing stuff and loosing the motivation to work hard on it is I used to stop working on something when I get bored by it; now that I stop working before I get bored, it's never quite the chore to resume working on it four or five days later.
Sure, I slack off a bit, read LJ, peruse /., etc... but I put in almost 45h a week, when all the other people in my position only do 37.5. I find it's all down to keeping yourself interested in the task at hand, and using your time to keep yourself from getting bored. :^)
Of course, if you have to plan meetings, you can easily be forgiven for feeling lazy. *shudder* :P
