Here's One: It's 4:30 AM. I am going to go to bed RIGHT NOW.
Sometimes when there is too much going on, I'm a little too restless or I just can't focus. I'll just get up and go for a short walk, try to clear my head, maybe tire myself out a bit. Usually gets me a little more relaxed.
Avoid multitasking as hell. Very few people can really afford it without going mad in the long run. At first it's very demotivating because you feel like stalling but then you'll naturally learn what (and how) you can micro-improve in your daily life to make the whole pipeline of TODOs more productive. I might not look very productive in the eyes of multitaskers, but at least I'm happy and totally not burned out.
Once you understand your own capacity for multitasking then fight to stay in that zone (and before anyone calls something like that a "comfort zone" its more like an "efficiency zone").
Works better for me than burning the midnight oil (which works too but probably isn't as healthy).
-Not doing too many things at the same time (hard)
-Having a passion in what you are doing and being proud of the quality of the end result
-Some excercise helps to get the blood flowing and oxygen into your brain which I find helps with focus
