I’ve been going through this over the last few months with work Some long stressful days, and a lot of late night work.
On these types of busy days I will usually just focus on the tasks that need to be done, put aside any that aren’t essential to be done on that day and try to work steadily through them. I always will try to find some time to stop and go out for a walk. I find that helps to clear my mind and I can come back and work more efficiently. I’ve also been prioritising getting a good night of sleep on the days I’m not working late at night and taking some days off regularly to get some me time (I’m fairly lucky that work is flexible with that).
Like you say, these things can be an investment in your future so it is also helpful to remember why you are doing them in the first place and look at the longer term view.
