The marketing is made in such a way as to portray these activities as necessary to a productive life. "Stop being such a slob! Achieve your true potential!" It's an old trick.
I find that I just pick up self-care habits that I find useful as I age. If I have a hard time controlling my mood, meditation practice helps. If I have headaches, making myself drink more water and see more sun does help. I forget a lot of activities, so I either do a task now or write it in my calendar so I don't forget. I try not to procrastinate too much since it ends up being worse for me in the end.
But I only learned those things after failing a lot of times and becoming so fed up with the mistakes that my brain makes me do the correct thing to make things easier. And I obviously still fuck up.
Just go with the flow and try not to repeat mistakes.
