I thint tgere are two strategies that work.

1.) Keep log of worked hours. When you want to stay longer, whether because need or because it goes well, stay longer. Note additional hours. Take those hours back (work less) within next two days or so. That way you will not overwork your self and will still take advantage of continuous time chunks.

If you are organized person, you can also note how much was "focused effective" and how much "staring into it butt in seet". I did that in past and it was eye opening.

2.) Work every day exactly same schedule and live very regular life. This his frustrating and hard for most people. Anyway, after a while you will codition yourself to be focused at exactly those times even if you are working on something big.

Large disadvantage of 2 I'd that you will become overall less flexible person that way.
