Wake up at the same time every day. Drink water, do two minutes of movement, brush teeth, get dressed. Pack the night before and put your keys by the door.
One thing people miss is the panel coating and the monitor processing itself. Heavy matte can add a grainy sparkle to white backgrounds and any extra sharpness processing can outline characters in a way that looks like clarity at first but causes halos over time. Look for a light matte finish and turn off sharpening and super resolution. Neutral sharpness usually lands at 50 on a 0 to 100 scale or 5 on a 0 to 10 scale.
Refresh rate is not a clarity knob. Nice to have at 75 to 100 for smoother scrolling but do not sacrifice signal quality to hit the top headline number. If 144 Hz over HDMI forces a subsampled mode, take 100 or 75 over full RGB instead. Your eyes will notice the text quality more than the extra Hertz.
