Something I ignored for a long time was relaxation and adequate sleep. I also have a tendency to obsessively deep-dive into rumination and rationalisation about my career path, which was keeping me up nights. I would come to conclusions off the back of this process, but they wouldn't withstand the test of time, or real-world application, creating yet more ideation as a result.
Recently I spent some time with a combo of these techniques: books over phone use, spending time with my partner over being alone, and adequate sleep over staying up late. These things resulted in a feeling of being refreshed, and the quality of my insights and conclusions during the day increased markedly. Probably because I had tapped into an increased level of perspective as a result of these habits.
In short: consider how some basic health practices could improve your baseline for being resilient towards the challenges you face during the day, and don't make the mistake of dismissing them out of hand like I used to :)
