And it IS hard when you have to go online to check facts, etc. I try to do a brain dump first. Just get it all down.

I understand what you mean by finding your zones or moments when you're at your best. Second, you're right on about unplugging- I like to say disconnect, turn of the internet, TV, Twitter and so on.
