Or any skill that you deeply value for how it helps you, but maybe easily overlooked by an outsider?

I think exercising atleast 2-3 times a week was good for me. Not that I look much different, but I do feel a bit stronger and that is nice. Neck isometrics and bridges too. They really helped with balancing looking at mobile or PC screens.

Learning some keyboard shortcuts was nice. The major one would be Win key + Arrow keys to manage multiple open windows/apps.
Then, finding that I can add commonly used options to the QuickAccess bar in Excel, Word etc. Libreoffice would probably have similar options too.

for my dev work and workflow learning how to effectively use the terminal and use it for just about everything.

Once you figure it out and use a good terminal IDE using your computer just becomes faster. It's faster than using a GUI for everything. Utilizing the terminal and a tiling Window Manager also makes using the mouse obsolete. I don't use a mouse or touchpad for anything other than gaming now. using the mouse slows me down.

I can manage everything on my computer now and multiple programs with 2 terminal windows. or simply manage everything within DOOM Emacs.

that's another program I strongly suggest people check out and learn. DOOM Emacs is my go to IDE, Terminal, Email client, Git Manager, and File Manager. does all that and does it all well.
