I've enjoyed Ali Abdaal's new book he just launched. A couple similar points really stood out along these lines even if they sounds pretty common sense.

Treat your priorities like any investment. Keep a wish list of all the things you want to do, but the second column is just the current things you are actually investing time in. You know there can only be 1-3 things in that column.

Have 3 things (quests) you do each day. One short task you can complete each day in each of these three categories: Work, Health, Relationships. Not 1, not 5. These 3. They can be as simple as "Relationship: call Grandma". IMO, doesn't even have to be a successful call. At least you made the attempt at the task. That means it's done and you made progress.
