Default best way to minimize jetlag from west coast to east coast

I fly often between the west coast and east coast. Returning home to
California I have no Jetlag symptoms - I just wake up earlier in the
morning each day after I get home.
But when traveling in the other direction (from California to New
York), I suffer major jetlag.
Please share your tips (that work) on minimizing jetlag (crossing 3
time zones from West to East coast).
Thanks

It is all in the mind. California to New York is a relatively short
journey.

I tend to agree with John T. A 3 hour crossing does not slow me down much.

A 20 hour crossing DOES.

The best way to handle it, I have found, is to stay up and awake in your
destination location until the hour that you normally go to sleep. Then go
to bed and SLEEP. Use OTC medication if you need to.
