This is a tough one. As a disclaimer, I prefer "mindfulness" or "All Day Lucid Presence" (a term I used to describe my practice), as I think "ADA" is a bit vague and doesn't really describe the proper kind of awareness we're trying to develop for LD practice.
One suggestion is to work on body or hand awareness (gravity awareness is a subcategory of body awareness). Your hands are generally always with you, within your field of focus while using the computer, and your body of course is always with you, even on the computer.
It's very good for your health to take frequent breaks to stretch / stand up from computer use. These are excellent times to focus mindfully on the present moment experience.
Do you get frustrated when you notice you've "zoned out." Instead, be happy every time you come to this realization, because that is a moment where you've gotten lucid!
I've read also that taking a 10-15 minute break after a period of study where you just sit quietly with no stimulation works wonders on the efficacy of remembering the studied material. And getting enough high quality sleep, and avoiding alcohol. Alcohol seems to have very deleterious affects on the retention of new memories, even 3 days after the study event (from the well-known book "Why We Sleep").
