Hi, I've noticed that my concentration tends to lapse after spending 12+ hours in front of a computer. At a startup thats a way of life so I want to find good ways to concentrate better and remain focused even while working long hours. So far, I've tried drinking a lot of water throughout the day, eating a lot of light meals, avoiding sugar. Also, I try to avoid multi-tasking. Its hard to avoid checking email because you always feel like you are missing something impt but thats an area where I definitley waste a lot of time.<p>Any efficiency gurus out there with any tips?

Listen to it.<p>Not satisfied? Check out this thread from earlier today:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=869034" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=869034</a>
when you push too hard, you will become counterproductive very fast (making wrong decisions that take much longer to work around or fix).<p>focus on what your body tells you, burnout is real and terrible.<p>otherwise, exercise would probably help you extend your focus integral.
