Great post! Some small formatting fixes that might help people searching this list.
‘Exercise’ the last section under ‘Rest’ isn’t listed in the contents.
Two of the headings have non obvious renames for anyone doing a really quick skim. ‘Expect to actually make progress’ becomes ‘Expect work to be effective’ and ‘Actually care about the task you’re doing’ becomes ‘Increase the value of your task’.

I like “Expect work to be effective” over “Expect to actually make progress”. The latter does indeed seem unclear. It seems to beg the question, “progress on what?”. So I have updated the article to use the former.
However, I still like “Actually care about the task you’re doing” over “Increase the value of your task”. The latter seems unclear to me. It seems to beg the questions, “What does that mean? That I should do tasks that are more socially valuable? More likely to have me make progress towards my long term goals? Things I subjectively value?”.
