Good lights with batteries you trust and always packing night before / religiously charging lights as soon as you have any question over charge level and don't overdo it to begin with. I found myself enjoying roughly timing myself by wris****ch and keeping track to see the improvement. Almost inevitably this obsession ended up on Strava, but that's how it goes.
Overall I find I'm in a better mood all day at work and certainly more awake if I ride vs drive. Access to a shower and changing space is a huge plus if you have it!
Trouser clips.
Forget the naff metal ones.
You'll find some proper sized elasticated Velcro types on ebay.
And an old baseball cap to wear under your bike helmet when it starts chucking it down.

I'd suggest riding in cycling gear rather than your flares.
