You're already working through lunch, but you're about 4 tasks behind where you intended to be. Loads of high-achievers get sucked in by the same culprit: Magical schedule thinking. Magical schedule thinking is what happens when you underestimate how much time things will take, and end up overcommitting yourself in the process.  You convince yourself you can knock out a killer presentation in exactly one hour. Which would work in a world where there was no inbox pinging you, or colleagues interrupting you. Your motivation isn't the problem. Your math is.
