My advice might sound strange, but a cup of Joe gives me a boost.
I usually work in the flow state and keep my productivity at its highest. But in the middle of the day, when I fall out of the flow, I take a walk to the nearest coffee shop and treat myself with a cup of cappuccino.
I'm one of those weirdos who like their tea and coffee cold, so I sip a single cup of coffee the whole afternoon. It makes me feel refreshed, and having a sip every minute or two creates a weirdly satisfying routine that gets me through the rest of the day 😅
And back to the topic of the flow state, I prefer listening to some lo-fi or trip-hop tunes and having all my work chats and notifications off. Once I get distracted, it's hard to catch the flow state again.

TL;DR:
I follow some of the things u mentioned. I think, this routine is perfect if it works for you. Follow things or build habits that work best for you.
Although, I need to add workout some where between coffee and my next coding session.
