Here's four of my productivity hacks. The rest is actually quite similar to what jarin has said. - The Pomodoro technique. I use Vitamin-R (great app for OS X) - Immidiately when I see something that looks interesting but I really shouldn't be reading I send it to Instapaper. Each day I get the new stories from Instapaper automatically sent to my Kindle for bedtime reading. If you don't have a Kindle, get one! - If it's a video, comments or something that's not really readable on the Kindle, I send it to pinboard.in - When you eat breakfast, prepare a thermos of green tea for consumption through the day. It doesn't sound like it would be different from drinking coffee or energy drinks, but drinking green tea actually gives you a different type of energy. Instead of the energy rush energy drinks and coffee gives you, you get a more long lasting and natural feeling type of energy. It tastes good and is really healthy too.
