For me, the #1 thing was not going out drinking. I used to go out and consume alcohol 3-4 times per week and I had no idea what an energy drain it was until I stopped.
It's been a whole new world since then.

I’m 37, I’ve had 1 year in my life around 33 where I went out to have beers in the evenings, 3-4 times a week. I never fully recovered my work ability.

I created a dedicated linux user for remote work. Other than the fact that I do not have to install the same software twice its almost like owning two computers that are isolated from each other.
For example, get up early every day, get ready and go directly to an area where the only thing you do is work on your tasks and you force yourself to accomplish at least a task while you are there. It's amazing how your point of view changes once you don't have to think about what you will do next and when you will do it.
“Eighty percent of success is showing up,” is absolutely true. Especially, if you don't have to think about it.
