Hopefully you have recovery codes for all these accounts.
With that said, I don't like to rely on these recovery codes bc of some horror stories.
Alternatively when setting up 2FA, you can for example:
- use Authy bc it syncs tokens in the cloud and so you can recover your 2FA tokens on a new phone based on your phone nbr. I used to do that but have stopped bc Twilio (owner of Authy) is slowly retiring the product.
- Keep a copy of each token when you set up 2FA. I keep an encrypted disk image with a list of my 2FA tokens. Yes, it weakens a little bit the security. But I sleep well bc I won't lock myself out in case of trouble. It's a trade-off I embrace.

The visiting the room at regular intervals works great. I only have two, and left it late with both. 5yo just fell asleep on his own for the first time a few weeks ago, still hates the idea, but doesn’t scream at least, now he knows I’ve not abandoned him…
With my kids, I used to do visits with increasing intervals. 1st time after 1 min, then 3 min, then 5 min, then 7 min,... I never reached 11 min before they were asleep.

There's nowhere I could easily swim, would showering in cold water help?
Cold showers can be a way to regain control through positive morning priming. I wrote this how-to a few years ago: https://medium.com/the-mission/a-year-of-cold-showers-662ec6...

There's a wide variety of different breathing techniques that can be used for specific purposes. It's been literally life-changing for me. Some techniques can help you getting out of a bad moment (anxiety, stress,...) but others have much deeper effects and can transform how you function as a human being.
You can for example check the following broad categories: a) Conscious breathing (Holotropic, rebirth, and the likes), b) Pranayama (Kapalabhati, anuma viloma,..), c) Buteyko + McKeown, d) Anapana Sati, e) Qi gong, f) Wim Hof.
It takes time to absorb the practical knowledge and use it in daily life but as the question asked, I was richly rewarded for the time I've invested in mastering these techniques.
I also wrote a post on my experience with Wim Hof technique: https://medium.com/the-mission/a-year-of-cold-showers-662ec6...

Could you elaborate a little bit? How do you master breathing and how has it helped you?

Breathing.
So much can be accomplished with something seemingly so simple.

Could you give some examples of "seeds" you've planted?
Do you mean to cultivate new hobbies, or keep paths open in your professional life (e.g. become a manager, or have a side project), or grow friendships with common interests that may remain common after ten years (e.g. not drinking buddies)?
Life is probabilistic, you can't define your future for sure but I believe you can increase the expected enjoyability of the outcome by working on adding potentially enjoyable scenarios to the collection of potential future outcomes. As for examples, I invested in some friendships at moments when there were more pressing rational things to do, thinking that maybe, some day, it would flourish and be worth it. Or I managed to set up a working environment where I sat for 10 years in the same space as a friend I would love to build a business with though we had completely different jobs. I was patiently waiting for a real opportunity for us to work together, all the while I was embracing my regular job. I was also building new skills in things that interest me. I was always acting with determination but not with obsession and anxiety. I was mentally accepting whatever scenarios would eventually materialize, I was only optimizing on increasing the quantity of possible enjoyable scenarios. But, as said before, all this is worth nothing if you don't treat your body with respect and are not very disciplined with your finances.

49 here, 2 teenagers.
When you grow older, the things you truly like doing don't change that much. It's the things you don't like that you hate doing every day a little bit more. You should plan for that.
I see too many friends who have been micromanaging their lives since when we were in our 20's and now feel entrapped and miserable because of work and/or partner and/or relationships...
As many have mentioned here, the first thing is to focus on your health, mental and physical. Absolute necessity.
The second thing is to develop optionality for later instead of closing doors as many do. Plant seeds for your future life. You don't know what will work or not for you in the future. So, while you're busy living your current life, plant seeds that all have a reasonable chance to grow into a life scenario that you would enjoy later. Don't focus on a single objective, make sure you pursue at least a handful. No need to be obsessive. And then, water the seeds when you can, abandon those who die, replant when necessary. It is mostly a background process, be gently alert to spot potential future opportunities. It has made wonders for me.

Although as a non-native speaker I find their service very attractive, I've so far refrained from installing their apps/extension. I was never confident enough about how Grammarly would keep safe every word I type (emails,...). This bug is a confirmation I should not trust them or any similar service.
