Frontload your work

First thing in the morning, I start my daily journal listing my goals, issues, concerns, and anxieties; then I get coffee while my agent of choice provides me an appropriate frontloading document with knowledge, information, sources etc, that serves to prime my brain.

It takes into account where I'm coming from (the previous day), and where I'm going (the next day), so that I can relieve myself of any doubt about where I am (this day).

One of my many divergencies is that I can't produce answers from nothing, in the moment, my brain doesn't work like that, and the information in my head is volatile, fleeting. Frontloading in the morning gives me a foundation, which is then immediately exercised and tested with the work; it's a reinforcement loop that works for me.

Give it a try sometime.
