For a quick focus jolt, a snack size slim jim from the "slim jim chute", as i like to call it, and a shot glass of redbull.

My office (work from home) has a very narrow laundry chute we dont use, so I placed a 2x4 in it to cover the chute. Now it stores a box of slim jims and a cheap jelly fish speaker.
