Ask HN: Share one thing that profoundly increased your productivity

This could be a change in approach, a new skill, a new habit, a new plugin, mentality, food, anything.

For me it's rest from thinking about projects. Working remotely has a way of making time and boundaries get muddled. Creating a rigorous schedule with predefined rest periods helps me greatly.

Don't code on an empty stomach ;)

But don't go for the junk food or fast food, either.

I keep some almond butter or peanut butter handy. Something to snack on just keeps me focused. Every few hours, I take another tablespoon with a drink of water and I find myself being able to get right back into what I was doing, even with less procrastination.
