Productivity always wears off at 3-4pm

I get burnt out super easy if I spend too much time in front of a PC. My limit is usually around 4 hours before I need a break.

This is a common thing mate. It's probably because of the physical inactivity also doing repetitive tasks.
By the way it sounds more like you are having a hard time focusing.
There ways to fight that but you need to watch your body.
Quick fixes:
Workout - but lowkey jogging for 30minutes anything that is giving you energy.
Powernaps - Help a lot but you need to train yourself to wake up when you feel the most refreshed.
Walking- moving in generall helps a lot but it need to be a certain speed and consitent.
jumping up and down in room doesnt do the job.
Coldshower - wakes up your body.
Long term:
Healthy and light nutrition - digesting can drain your energy and focus levels.
Cardio workouts - regular cardio will improve blood circulation and helps with regular energy.
Meditation - Very effective for focus.
Pomodairo sequences -
Using a list with task in order 1- 10.
Then do the first task and the first task only.
Then the second and so on.
If you have great thoughts or something distrubing your mind.
Write it in a Open Notepad-write-CLOSE
your brain will adapt and stop disrupting you all the time.
(https://lifehacker.com/5682508/pomodairo-is-a-pomodoro-based-timer-and-task-tracking-tool)
Banning distraction - use the pomodairo cloack for 5-10 minutes and browse as much as you want.
Then close all tabs NO DISTRACTION. If you need to use the internet tehn only one tab and directly after you got what CLOSE it.
If you need to do research then do a research time for 30 minutes then close it.
Cheatfix:
Guaranna
Ritalin
Modafinil
If still nothing helps there is only ultimate solution that works 100%:

It's about finding the balance mate.
If you drink too much "coffee" you will be to energized too focus.
If you drink not enough "coffee" you will be unfocused.
If you hit the right amount of "coffee" it totally flows.
Takes this as a life example.
"coffee" is everything.
Its "workout","sleep","food","sex" whatever.
Its never about if its good or bad but mostly if its the right amount.
(yes there are always exception to the case keep that in mind)

Yeah! i remember caffeine pills dont have this LOW feeling while coffee has. I will buy them sometime. its really weird because its the same substance but i could take 3 pills and feel no LOW feelings while after 3 coffees low feeling guaranted
but honestly IM is messing with lifestyle route hard.
You think you'd better work on IM more instead of spending time on GYM or socialising/dating/eating well
And you follow this path till you get the effects you want

This!
I always have the best productivity at night, around 1am to 5am. I guess I'm Nocturnal.

This is a coffee side-effect. I've experienced it as well, when I was a heavy drinker.
When I quit coffee, I had stable energy levels all day long, without ups and downs. Yeah, you might not get that rush of energy you get with coffee, but you also don't get that crashing effect.
If you do decide to quit, prepare for 1-2 weeks of hell. Dragging yourself from room to room.
Having said that, I'm back to drinking a shitload of coffee because I'm an addict and I love coffee.
Might try switching to decaf, to fool my stupid brain.

I started working out, eating more, i dont eat sweets and i dont put sugar in anything and my productivity got bigger.
i believe its mainly because i drink cofee without sugar now so i dont feel the "LOW" feeling later.

Drinking six 5-hour energy shots in the morning should keep you productive throughout the day.
Don't do this.

It was a joke. I've never taken a 5-hour energy shot in my life. I have some friends though that rely on it daily.

Tell me more about your working routine. Are you work from home. Going to an office?
If you are determined to have a good long term results I would advise you to try polyphasic sleeping.
There is a reddit about it. And a discord server too. The people so helpful and awesome to talk with.
The idea is to split your 8 or 9 hours sleep into little segments. You have a Alot to learn. And some work and adaptation. But trust me it is worth every second. You'll be a new person. Filled with energy and free time.
And you'll forget that one day you used to drink coffee to wake up.

One question for you- what about the work you do ? Are you doing the same thing everyday or mixing it up with different types of tasks ?
