I think the biggest game-changer for me is writing down my plan for the next day in the evening.
Also, using extensions like TomatoTimer to make sure I don't get distracted by impulsive browsing. It's amazing how frequently I'll go through a cycle of browsing to HN, getting blocked, browsing to Reddit, getting blocked, and so on before realising what I'm doing on autopilot. That happens a lot when I've got something boring to do, not so much when I'm coding.
Otherwise, I think others have covered it well, regarding eating, moving and sleeping.

- raindropm 6y agoThis is also my go-to technique when I’m too tired to think at the end of the day. I just pick a marker and write 3 things I want to do tomorrow — just write it down with your gut feeling. The feeling in the morning when you see what you wrote in previous night gives you a boost to your willpower and gives you a sense of direction in your day. It’s just something so small, but it works great for me.
