What keeps me going is a semi-decent lifestyle: -Eating decent (fruits and veggies and reasonable portions) -Devoting about an hour to exercise (i like to run) -Getting the sleep I need (varies over time, but hitting snooze and getting an extra hour is worth it over going to work early and being cranky all day).

I find that if I fit these things into my schedule regularily I have more energy - physically and mentally - to put up with the nonsense of reality.

But what really keeps me going is the fact that I know nothing. Whenever I get bored and arrogant I google something that I think I know (say some signal processing or math concept) and just dive into the rabbit hole. It helps if it's work related.
