Take a cold shower to raise your dopamine levels. 2 minutes is enough.
Meditate at least 12 minutes during the day. Avoid the 3 hours before bed. Learn about the study by Dr. Wendy Suzuki.
Have some caffeine 2 hours after waking (not before as it interferes with your natural adenosine and this will make you sleepy in the afternoon)
Take some Theanine with your coffee to mellow out the gitters.
Listen to 40 Hz Gamma on headphones. Here is my favorite version.

Work for 90 minutes at a time.
