How to get focused

As I practiced primary last night, I was having a hard time to find my breath. It seemed my focus was all over the place, poses constantly readjusted, constantly not good enough, loosing count after 2, too many engagements to focus and work on in every pose and transition. I was thinking of closing half way through.
Then in Marichasana D someone came over to talked to me. The conversation was done quickly and I noticed the time. I had 20 minutes left to finish and had to meet someone by my house.
As I stepped on "gas", I focused. Finally, it was get to pose, breathe, count, release, transition, pose, breathe, count, transition. When I got myself to Shavasana, as usual, I asked myself, have I done everything I could: I was surprised with how MUCH I've done and with what quality.

Lesson off the mat: time constrain forces focus.
