I do this using Org-Mode and a kitchen timer. I clock in when I wind the timer, and clock out when it dings, instead of just marking with X's. To record distractions I keep a scratch buffer in org-mode open, although there may be a better way to capture distractions on the urgent and unplanned list using remember mode to file them away into a more organized system. I just haven't had time to read about it. I like the fact that the urgent & unplanned items don't go anywhere unless I decide to file them though, because it keeps my to-do list cleaner that way. During my most distracted periods I tend to capture a lot of stray to-do items of only marginal utility.
I'm not sure my personal workflow will work exactly right for anyone but myself (and it's still a work in progress for me too!), but I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have about it. -- A.
