A lot of those ideas originally come from others and largely fall under the heading of 'free your mind'
At the core of it all is to understand what a roll really is. You've got a losing position and in order to recover from it, you decide to realize the unrealized loss in the position, while simultaneously opening a new position that is even larger (net credit) than the old one, with the hope / expectation that the new position will win out.
Or that you'll go into a perma-roll situation if needed, collecting credits each time, until eventually you win. You almost always land in a new position that you wouldn't open as a starting point.
But that also means that any new position you open that yields a net credit (given that you restrict yourself in this way) serves this purpose. Realize the loss while opening an even larger position in an attempt to clear up the mess.
Worth noting that the roll transaction ticket also provides a mechanical value in situations where you can't break it into two transactions. You don't have enough cash to pay for the loss (buy out the existing position), so you can then open the replacement position. I've encountered this in a retirement account. In these situations, and something I didn't think of at the time - I could have probably closed some of the position, sold the corresponding new position, and repeated until everything was shifted into the new position. This will introduce execution risk where the different bits and bobs don't get the same execution - which could be valuable, but can also add in a loss over and above the bid/ask slippage.
An important advantage of cash secured puts is that as long as you're willing and able to have the underlying cash committed to purchasing the shares at the put strike, you can roll that position forever (until the company goes bankrupt and the shares stop trading). There isn't anything inherent in the position that will act as a forcing function outside of getting deeply enough ITM and being insufficiently proactive about the rolls that you get assigned early. Similar deal on the call side as long as the shares or calls backing the covered calls are owned (no margin).
Spreads though come with a built in forcing function. When the shares move far enough that the insurance becomes particularly important to the position or even go ITM themselves then the end is nigh. The position can continue to be rolled but you pretty quickly arrive in a state where you roll into worse and worse strikes or you pay debits for each roll (or both). In exchange for that tail risk you gain access to pretty much as much leverage as you want to juice the returns the rest of the time.
