My 2c if helpful: the solution was to question deeper assumptions.

Why are you at a desk? Because you have to work 8 hours.

Why? Because your job requires it.

Why do you have that job? Because you need income to live.

Is a job the only way to have income to live? (See: FI).

Ultimately the root cause is not being in control of your time. It takes time, but once solved the downstream problems solve themselves. You can work (exert effort on goals you care about) in a way that prioritizes your health.
