1. Breath deep. More air it means more oxygen in the blood and therefore in the
brain. Breath through your nose and you'll notice that you use your diaphragm
more, drawing air deeper into your lungs. Several deep breaths can also help to
relax you, which is conducive to clearer thinking.
2. Meditate. A simple meditation you can do right now is just closing your eyes and paying attention to your breath. Tensing up your muscles and then relaxing them to start may help. When your mind wanders, just bring your attention back to your breath. Five or ten minutes of this will usually relax you, clear your mind, and leave you more ready for any mental task.

3. Sit up straight. Posture affects your thinking process. Prove it
to yourself by doing math in your head while slouching, looking at the floor
and letting your mouth hang open. Then do the mental math while sitting up
straight, keeping your mouth closed and looking forward or slightly upwards.
You'll notice that it's easier to think with the latter posture.
