Or any skill that you deeply value for how it helps you, but maybe easily overlooked by an outsider?

I think exercising atleast 2-3 times a week was good for me. Not that I look much different, but I do feel a bit stronger and that is nice. Neck isometrics and bridges too. They really helped with balancing looking at mobile or PC screens.

Learning some keyboard shortcuts was nice. The major one would be Win key + Arrow keys to manage multiple open windows/apps.
Then, finding that I can add commonly used options to the QuickAccess bar in Excel, Word etc. Libreoffice would probably have similar options too.

I bought blackout curtains

Oh yes black out curtains are a life changer. I added secondary glazing too to cut down sounds.

I play brown noise in my room. It does a good job of blocking out external noise. It also helps me relax.

I also fart in bed.

Same. Well mine is "space deck" but I don't think I can sleep without it anymore. Even the smallest of noises interrupt my attention to sleep. Like the fridge on the other side of the house. Or the ps5 in sleep mode on the lounge. Wish there was an off switch for my ears.

Sorry, what's space deck?

[–] Reddit_was_fun@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

"Alexa play space deck" (it's by Sleep Jar(free or paid) don't know if you need to enable it 1st). Definitely My favourite.

I started listening to it whilst reading The Expanse series and I went to sleep thinking I was aboard the Rossi.
