Hi, As I see there are lots of bright people here, I'll ask away. I don't know if this question has been asked before - most probably it has been. Duplicate this if so. For anyone who does not know what "the zone" for programmers is, it is when you are at your most productive and it feels like you are not coding but the code is writing itself. :D. However, this state of mind does not last forever. I get into that mode rarely. And it does not last long. This link mentions a few good tips. What are your inputs? Close this thread if necessary :(. (And suggest tags :) ).

A: 

Good music. But be mindful, just because you think your in the zone, does not mean you're producing your best code. Sometimes things just fall into place and you get on too much of a roll for your own good.
