magnifying headgear + light and high quality tweezers.
More challenging: finding a soldering tip that is small enough and having hands that don't shake. I can't express how frustrating it is to melt the solder and have my hand shake right before it hardens back up.

Dental picks are also useful
I’ve actually found that my old iPhone 6 makes a surprisingly good low power microscope. Just hold it 6-8 inches above your PCB and use the digital zoom. Phone cameras tend to have several times the number of pixels of the screen, so you won’t even lose much quality. You also don’t really need that high resolution of an image anyway. You just need it to be bigger and well lit, so bring a lamp or flashlight.
I haven’t tried it as a soldering aid since I don’t do SMD yet. But I spent many years in biology labs manipulating sub-millimeter crystals under some really nice scopes, and I bet that a little rig to hold your phone up would work fine for hobby projects. And anyway, the price is right.
You can upgrade the rig and get some clip on lenses and a better phone arm
I use this magnifying lamp for a lot of work, but 2.25x isn’t enough for this. I think 5x would be good if they exist.
Headlamps are also an option, and this one does up to 13x.
