"So the question is: how do you get yourself into this ominous mode of productivity?"
Ominous does not seem to be the word you want.
A beverage does not help. When I am in "the Zone", I am working. I do not even think of said beverage. Taken out of it, I will notice my beverage.
No tunes, too distracting.
I need: no phone calls, no meetings, no distractions. This meant I was most often in "the Zone" after 5, when everyone else had gone.
I also need a good code base. Comments, good variable names, etc. If not, the first step is to clean the code.
Richard thank you for pointing that out! Ominous definitely wasn't the correct word.
I definitely agree with you on the "I need: no phone calls, no meetings, no distractions."
For me, I set my status on my company's chat service to "Busy", and let my team members know to message me afterwards.
