Started to replace coffee after lunch for a short (from 15 to 30 minutes) nap. I usually would have good energy levels just with coffee, however napping brings me more clarity of mind and focus.
The single thing that has had the largest impact for me has been simply making a list of things I need to do the next day on the night before. In the morning, often the hardest thing to do is just to get going. Having a ready made list takes out a lot of the factors that lead me to procrastinate.

> I bought a CO2 monitor. We did the same, it's very noticeable, what we sometimes do is cover it and if people are feeling drowsy only then reveal it so we could be sure it wasn't a placebo (it wasn't).

What is this supposed to do, is it like a blocking thing?

Yes, it routes requests for those hostnames to your local computer.
I work a task until blocked, then switch. Work the next one until blocked, then switch again.
You'll be surprised at how much you can deliver when you focus on delivering one thing at a time!
