It also can be done almost entirely in a crockpot, which will limit the amount of dishes you have to do at the end. Here's a...I love Texas chili. It's just beef and chilis, and some generic spices. It also can be done almost entirely in a crockpot, which will limit the amount of dishes you have to do at the end. Here's a recipe that I currently use: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/11/real-texas-chili-con-carne.html
You don't necessarily need all of those ingredients like fish sauce - I sub that out and use powdered MSG instead. You can add a spoonful of sour cream on top and it's perfect. I tweaked that recipe to use leftover smoked brisket, and a roasted head of garlic (until it's dark brown and caramelized) and it's awesome. Skip the corn masa at the end!
If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I noticed that my eyes strain when concentrating intensely, and as I age the strain becomes more and more severe, and then yeah the headache that disables me for the day.
A pair of reading glasses greatly increased my stamina for studying like this, and now I'm fine. The crazy part is I only need the slightest of correction; I have can see clearly at a distance with 20/20 vision, but need like 1 diopter of correction to see up close. I can't even tell the difference, except for the headache that comes after a bit of focusing.
