Are there any proven exercises or techniques I can adopt that are proven to boost my ability to focus and get in that clear headspace to write code?

Edit: adding some tips as I try to figure this out. Note: not scientifically proven (to my knowledge)

1. Music. which type depends on the individual.

2. Timing. Dead of night or early in the morning when the world is quiet. Not this isn’t a muscle you can flex at any time, you have to just capitalize on the right time.

3. Long shower

4. Caffeine

5. Get out of the office/house go somewhere else (like a cafe)

6. Take a walk

7. Have a beer

8. Write thoughts down in a notebook without any phones/laptop in sight and then jump to the laptop to implement

9. Meditate

10.

In high school, I pretty much ignored math. I memorized everything without understanding anything. I got through AP calculus (and got a 5 on the exam but I honestly didn't really understand any of it). I didn't take any math in college. I can't help but feel like I missed out on great beauty. I was looking at an explanation of one of Euclid's proofs and this made me want to take action.

I have almost none of the building blocks. Can anyone refer me to a book that starts from the very building blocks of math (I assume things like prime numbers) and the simplest logic and builds off these first principles to create understanding?

I understand this probably doesn't exist, but is there anything close?","time":1606518619,"title":"Ask HN: How do I learn mathematics starting from almost no knowledge?","type":"story"}]]
