I go over hands I thought I did poorly in and try to see what I did wrong.

Go to these forums. Keep up on odds so you know how to do them in your head quickly. Read and re-read books by professionals who strategies and type of games match yours. Ask questions in the forums.

The top of the pyramid in terms of "off the table work" is to do EV calculations of difficult spots you encounter.

Not just poker stove, but to actually do some math in terms of fold equity, bluff frequency, and possible lines...

How do you do equity calculations???

Well, that is part of the off the table work. Google is your friend, also look at various strategy forum posts, occasionally someone will do an EV calculation.

I'd class cleaning, showering, personal grooming, ironing, eating, drinking, exercise, social life, personal development (nonpoker related), my mental game diary (where I deload all emotional feelings and frustrations onto paper) as well as general relaxation time as "Off table work" too. It all helps in keeping your environment, and yourself, in the perfect condition to win at poker.
