The most important part of getting in the "zone" is getting psyched about the project: the more excited you are, the easier it is to focus...remember, this is fun!
A regular exercise routine also helps, making you less fidgety...music and a nice chair don't hurt things. The thing that helps me the most is having another computer with multiple monitors available to hold references for code-samples/API's/etc.
