Develop good habits: physical conditioning, mental conditioning, avoiding drugs and alcohol, etc. If you want to be doing this kind of work for the long haul, protect your body and mind. In your 20s, you can be a couch potato, etc, and probably do this job. In your 50s? The proportion of people still doing this job who don't take care of themselves is much smaller.

Your back, hands, wrists, arms, hips, and probably more can take a big toll directly from performing your job. If you're not careful to avoid stress, burnout, etc, then you're also directly or indirectly inviting huge risk to your heart, weight, mental health, and more. Drink lots of water. Go to the bathroom. Have little walks or stretches in the office, at least at your desk or in your chair. Go for a walk after dinner. Do some light exercises at home if you can't walk at home. Sleep, sleep, sleep.
