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?

What I do is work less than 3 hours per day. If on a job, the rest of the time I just act as if I’m working.
Arguably, if you are burnt out after 3 hours but force yourself to keep trying, you are still only pretending to be working, and possibly making more work for yourself later by making mistakes.
