Here's what works for when I need a caffine-free pick-me-up:

  1. Stretch large muscle groups / go for a 2 minute walk.
  2. Do strenuous exercise. At least 1 hour every 2-3 days. Somehow, exercising leads to more mental energy.
  3. Practice mindfulness/meditation. 2 minutes of mindfullness works wonders for the rest of the day
