2. Comfortable chair and desk. You'll need something that you can sit in for extended periods of time.

To preface all this, I usually always make sure I start as early as I can, have some coffee, and food. Before kids, I would usually do 6a-10a straight. Now, I can do an hour or so straight before I'm interrupted.
And, of course, stay away from HN and other news sites.
