I really try, but I’m starting to feel like a zombie all the time!
One thing I try to do is not go so hard on JavaScript. I don’t like when websites do that and have problems due to that, especially when it comes to forms (though I do have an awesome example with being able to paste a lot string of text into a text field and having JavaScript split it into the following fields, but only if it’s in the correct format).
Yeah, it’s a long story but while working somewhere they used a terrible SaaS for their day-to-day operations and I eventually built my own that they still use (I don’t work there anymore).
The long string would be a bunch of specifications sent via email by clients (it’s an email-heavy industry) and I got tired of copying and pasting each part line by line (it was also hard because they weren’t sent as separate lines, but used a character as a separator) so I built it for myself.
And I’m sure your websites are (even more) awesome without that garbage.

JavaScript is fine as long as it degrades gracefully when disabled by the user.
That feature sounds very useful.

I guess that’s the magic of eating your dog food.
