Caffeine and "forest therapy." Caffeine is only a stopgap. Impulsive feelings, I believe, are due to the body not getting something it wants like food, exercise, sleep, toilet, etc. Forest therapy is a two hour block of distraction free time for problem solving. The thing that's different is that the body needs to be doing something autonomously. Walking through the woods in a straight line for two hours is basically automatic. Why a forest? Line of sight is about 50 yards and sound is muffled. And it's pleasant.
