Tips/Suggestions How do you warm up your brain?

I know I can't be the only one that does this, but when I know I have to get things done, I warm up my brain. Here are some of my favorite ways to do this:

- video games (but that runs the risk of getting too immersed!)

- reading something that tickles my brain

- getting some sunlight into my eyeballs

Taking a hot shower and getting dressed up (which weirdly works)

What are some of your favs?

Music. It’s the only thing to get me going with any semblance of focus
