What kind of a diet would give the best nutrition for heavy, extended mental work? I've thought I would have to eat slow carbs a lot during the day, caffeine in moderate amounts, and to avoid food that makes one tired. This means, no meat+potato combination, avoiding animal fat, sugar.
I'm interested of other factors as well. Motivation is extremely important, but one can self-motivate if there is something to motivate about. Often a lack of motivation to something is a good clue to the fact that the job in question shouldn't really be done in the first place, at least for me.
I sometimes use what I think of as a P-style workflow as well. At least, it's my P-style of work. I might drink moderately, and alternate playing games and doing the work. I need it for some kinds of tasks where good mood and creativity is paramount, like evaluating some graphics.
