One thing I'll add is the value of slowness. Combined with focus and planning, it allows one to get results with much less effort. Many people do things hastily, but long term it feels much better to be able to move at a leisurely pace. The (fairly minimal) planning part is what helps one do so without feeling so much like you'll be getting behind.
I continually do a sort of spring cleaning in which I go through and check what's reinforcing where I want to be in life and what isn't, and cut out the latter. This could mean dropping a social club, a hobby, social commitment, selling something off, or really anything that's taking energy and not helping me be who I choose to be. Doing so gives me much more free time than most people, and though I'm not entirely immune to doing some things hastily, it gives me the option to quite often take my time, making things both more productive and more enjoyable. That's my version of "lazy genius"
