One really awesome thing I've found is listening to game music/soundtracks whilst working. I figured big game companies spend a lot of time designing music that is engaging and stimulating to the brain but not so stimulating that you lose all track of what you're doing and start rocking out to the music. EA Games Soundtrack - SIMCITY is a great example of this. Before I was listening to techno/trance/dance type stuff, but it doesn't hold my concentration whilst coding or writing documentation like many of the game sound tracks do. Some Spotify links to game music albums I've found awesome at allowing me to stay on track: London Music Works Game Collection: http://open.spotify.com/user/1114941712/playlist/1qd0VVUvxFjLGrzZJspSrH http://open.spotify.com/user/1114941712/playlist/1qd0VVUvxFj...

I've also found wearing noise cancelling earbuds/headphones even if nobody else is about really helps whilst listening to music to help me zone in. We've spent a lot of time in the office trying out different types of music and setups, with the conclusion being game music + noise cancelling earbuds/ headphones seem to be the winner.
