Having enough sleep so that you wake up refreshed helps. Imagine trying to develop the next google/facebook/whatever with lots of toxic chemicals floating in your brain! Drink some of water when you wake up to hydrate yourself. We often mistake thirst for a desire to eat or restlessness. So eating or moving around often does not fix it. Keep a bottle of water nearby always. Exercise also provides a great start to your day but o ly if you are well rested. If there are lots of ideas circling in you head, it is time to pull them out and put them all on a list. Then prioritize what you need to do first. This removes mental clutter and give you room to work. It helps a lot if the last thing you the at the end of the day is to plan for the one thing you will do next day. This way you will wake up knowing how your day is going to be. This avoids decision fatigue early in the day. The todo should ideally be one or two and no more than three. If you still find yourself distracted, it is because of some uneasiness that stems inside you. Find its source. Maybe the task you are supposed to be doing is vague or daunting, or you do not believe what you are doing is the best approach. Or the project is not what you expected it to be and you would rather spend your efforts on something more deserving. Whatever it is, identifying it is half the problem. Even a single step in the direction of fixing it can give you hope and energy to chug forward. Meditation is also recommended as a great way to practice focus and introspection but I have not made a habit of it yet. Maybe soon.
