Overdo things — especially breaks. At work I stopped drinking coffee from the machine and do it as labourous as possible; Grinding the beans, making preferably one cup at a time using an Aeropres. This makes me refocus on the coffee and thus have an actual effective break. Obviously the coffee itself gets hell-of-a-lot better!

I fullscreen every app I use to avoid multitasking. My terminal (vim user) has opacity so I can glimpse the browser behind it for visual cues on what I'm working on.

Turn off all notifications that goes beyond a tiny status light, or similar. Decide for yourself where to focus, dont let the email, IM refocus for you!

Weekly dinner plans. On sunday or monday, plan every dinner for the week. Shop once on monday. This saves you money and makes it a lot easier to eat what your body really needs.

Social life; Volunteer! Its the best and easiest way to make friends. Period Especially if you have trouble in this department.
