Finding 'the Zone'

[iaki]

Lately I've been trying to customize my workspace at home to make it more comfortable, and thought this might make a good question:

What working conditions do you find most ideal for attaining maximum productivity? That is, what factors in a work environment contribute towards your being able to stay productive and motivated? Is there a type of break / eating schedule, or perhaps a type of music that you find useful for staying in a state of high concentration (artist names welcome)? Is there a time of day you find most ideal, or an exercise schedule that helps you relax? Maybe a set of rules that keeps your mind focused on the job at hand?

Thanks for your thoughts...

i would say, look at the finished work here and at cgtalk.com, and use this as inspiration, put on some deep music, and after that it doesn't matter about the conditions..
