I have discovered a pattern that after around 3 hours of deep mental work I am exhausted and I can’t do anything any more that day.
What are your strategies to get more work done, or just to not feel miserable for the rest of the day?

Take a walk. Even if it’s just on a treadmill. Even if it’s just up and down the stairs a few times. There are empirical studies on this; the physical act of walking energizes your brain. Doesn’t have to be outside, doesn’t have to be going anywhere. Just walk. Five to ten minutes, put a podcast on or something. Do that every hour or two.
