  "... Non-startup related chores ..." Same here to some extent. There are certain tasks ("fatigues") that I have to do at set times during the day. The only suggestions I have is to focus on small bits at a time and chip away. Another thing is to use exercise as thinking time. Think on very specific problems. Write your solutions as you get them. Then work on them. Another suggestion might be to adopt the Joshua Schacter (Schacter worked while building delicious) model of "being lazy". You can read/listen more about his techniques here.
