My former PhD advisor said lots of exercise, adequate sleep, and good eating are of supreme importance.
Otherwise, whatever you want to do, bind yourself to that.
Sleep deficits add up. Think conservatively about your mind.

I have been sleeping better for years but it causes me to have to perform the morning and evening transitions twice as often.
EDIT: I guess the thread is too deep but I can’t reply. By “transitions” I just mean all the stuff I do between doing the stuff that occupies me. It’s common that I find another problem and start compulsively trying to fix that instead of getting back to work on the thing I would rather be doing. When I work in an office it’s not really an issue but I am trying to develop patterns that allow me to not work in an office, mostly for career progression. I want to work in a different industry and can only get freelance work in it for now.
I also tend to find I ultimately fix my own problems in my own way, but finding corrolaries can be useful in the decisions of what to try next.
For problems that lead to identification of other problems, taking notes is useful. Mentally imagine setting aside each problem to maintain focus on one at a time.
I understand the compulsive mentality where it feels like you created a problem and you need to fix it, where the steps leading to the solution of the problem lead to identification of other problems.
Any way of recording each one to maintain focus on solving one at a time is useful.
Finding connections, patterns. Decision problems.
I understand sort of the transition word, but more like, 'trend' or 'direction' or 'flow'. I tend to analyze my own behavior to meticulous detail, and correct, over and over.
I have to have my mind organised very precisely for this, that's something I have to accept as fact for stable mental trends.
But I am putting my email address in my profile if you want someone to get in touch with about art. I have been identified by others as an artist for much of my life, I have put a ton of work into it and I have created a lot of art. I have a lot of beliefs about art. Bounce ideas, etc.
Shortcut is trust others, but be selective. Of critical importance.
I don't know what you mean by transitions, but that's fine. I have my own words too.
Software engineering is where you do 80% now assuming that 20% will turn into another 80% for yourself or someone else in the future. I talked to my stepdad today about 80/20 philosophy.
