#5if you are looking for advice of how to optimize yourself or outcomes, at some point you will realise you've wasted much of your life working for that optimisation and not actually doing the things you've wanted.
and if you do too much of the things you want, you might end up too fat, too unhealthy, broke etc.
there's no way around that, there's never perfect and optimal because your life isn't perene, but fatal.
also don't look at statistics, you might on average live up to 80+ or 90+, but you can also be the 'lucky' one to get cancer, or whatever sickness that might shorten your lifespan a lot. so don't over optimise, do the stuff you want, it's the most important thing. whatever silly thing it is.
my mother did everything she could to optimize, i've always envied how healthy she was(even more than me, 2 decades younger), she visited the doctor regularly, ate her greens and died of cancer young, when nobody known of our whole ancestry ever got cancer.
tldr: do whatever you want

#6Stop worrying about being more productive and making a lot more money. I'm not saying you shouldn't think about this things, but don't let worries about those things consume you and become your whole life.
Understand that on average you are living better than kings and queens did thausend years ago or even 100 years ago. Got a fridge? well be thankful for that. Got heating, a bed, bath, clothes, food that you like? you are living the dreams of billions of people who can't have any of it. Just be thankful for things before you want to get more.
Happiness is doing more and expecting less.
