Wish I could give you an npm package for that, but best I can do is a process:
[0] keep a log / journal
[1] make a change
[2] observe the result
[3] iterate
[0] is to raise awareness and detect cause and effect. Keep it minimalist. I once went overboard with a whole spreadsheet. Plain text turned out better. What to track? Inputs (food, media, activities) and outputs (physical and psychological state).
[1] Try eating better, exercise, changing media exposure, time outside. If you go down the supplement rabbit hole, start with simple things like magnesium. Attach new, better habits to your existing routine.
[2] Watch out for delayed reactions. For instance, what I ate 48 hours ago has significance.
[3] while(true)
Random bonus: if there is something that negatively affects you, seek out its polar positive opposite. I'm very easy bothered by sounds. Leaf blowers shall die. But this also means sounds have a strong positive leverage on my mental state:

Does anyone else find themselves performing a UML-like design phase, but with code?
I like to create classes/methods with little/no/mock implementation to see how it will fit together. If there's something where I'm not sure how it works (third party API/lib I've not used before) I'll get more granular with it.
There's tooling to produce diagrams from code if someone really wants it. But either way my design phase is now usable code.
That being said, I still have to admit this rarely survives contact with actual implementation. It just feels better.
