Haha, I definitely agree with that! Coffee is certainly a great way to get your brain in the mood to do work, any work at all.

One thing that really helps (really the base "pillar" which all health-optimization rests on) is making sure you get good sleep. I aim for 8-9 hours of being in bed per night. I've spent a lot of time working on getting good sleep.
