The key for me is the phrase you know it will take 4 uninterrupted hours. BY definition that makes it a calendar event for me with at least 4 hours blocked out as an appointment. Given that it's creative, and the muse may decide to visit someone else when I have time scheduled, I'd do what cwoodgold suggests and schedule at least 2 such times at different times of the day. Say a morning one and an evening one just to be sure I covered both of my typical high energy times of day. I assume you know when you are typically best able to do this sort of creative work. Your times might be different but I'd allow at least double the time jus tot be sure you had the problem covered.
