Most people can't leave work at 3pm no matter how early they get there, thanks to the obsolete practice of valuing "face time." Even if it's permitted in the rules, you may suffer poor evaluations or just get passed over for promotions etc. That said, if you feel you can, it's definitely a great move. As for coffee... Too much. You're likely used to the effects of caffeine by now and only drinking it to avoid withdrawals. I'd replace that with tons of fluids, perhaps make a ton of green tea in the morning and drink that throughout. My recommendation is to actually take a choline supplement, consume lots of quality Omega 3s (snack on walnuts), have good nutrition, etc. These will make your brain feel great and "gelling" while you do intensive tasks. For those who don't have standing desks and sit all day...look into a foam roller. You can get one on Amazon and leave it in your office. Get up and roll your back up and down it, it will feel amazing and release all the tension that builds up in your back as you sit all day. It's also proven that you become more focused when you are hungry (up to a point). I like to put off breakfast as long as possible. If I'm busy, I forget about eating, get past my initial hunger pang, and feel focused. When you're starving, you don't waste any time. So, try getting some quality hours out this way in the morning then eat when it's too much.
