To answer your question more specifically, I also keep an eye on my vitals. It’s hard to do good work while tired, hungry or worried. A good nap is sometimes the most productive use of your time.
I also make sure to take real breaks. Finishing the day hungry and behind on your chores is not a good idea. Work needs to blend in with your other obligations. Deep work also requires breaks.
Reducing overhead is another big one. You need to get rid of all the obligations that are holding you back: pointless meetings, pointless commuting, excessive maintenance overhead, etc.
The environment itself also needs a bit of attention. Good monitor, good chair, sunlight, whatever makes you happy to sit at your post.
