Let's not forget the most important thing that I personally resisted for over a decade of my working life before legitimately giving it a try: allow yourself the opportunity to get 8 hours of sleep per night. You won't always get it, especially if you're a parent, on-call, or a thousand other reasons. But I went from being a person who "only needs 5-6 hours of sleep" but was always running out of time in the workday to someone actively seeking out new challenges because my work (and personal) time were spent so much more efficiently and pleasantly by default. Seriously, if I could go back in time and slap my mid-twenties self for ignoring this, I would.

Also hundred times this when you have kids. Sleep is important. It is much easier to get angry when you are tired. I sometimes wonder what good is there in not going to sleep when you are tired. Sometimes I sleep after lunch for twenty minutes. Sometimes even full cycle - one hour and half, but this is rare. It makes a difference - you are more fresh and although it may seem like a loss of time, it actually pays back quickly as you are not struggling with tiredness during your whole afternoon.
