Watch your diet—eat foods that keep your mind healthy, energetic, and focused.
from The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It by Kelly McGonigal
Not only does this type of diet decrease your risk of developing high blood sugar and even diabetes, but it will also give your mind and body energy that lasts throughout the day. Sugary foods, on the other hand, may give you a burst of energy, but this energy will dissipate quickly.
When your mind and body have sufficient and lasting energy, you will be able to focus on what you need to do instead of getting distracted by every little thing around you.
