A really good trick for the food part my partner taught me: in the evening, don't ask "what am I going to have for dinner?" -- that's just too difficult when you're tired and stressed and nothing is appealing. Instead, ask "what am I going to have for lunch tomorrow?" Having a packed lunch is awesome: it's effortlessly right there when you need it and will make you happier throughout the afternoon. Tomorrow-you will be incredibly grateful to tonight-you. And tonight-you, being the productive chore-monkey, is probably quite happy to make a meal someone else. In the process, if you eat some "leftovers", that's a bonus :-).
