Good topic, and one I think about a lot. Cuz that's what this little hobby of ours is all about, right -- what works for you. Not what works for Boris Sheyko's lifters or Dave Tate's (although what works for them may help you if your goals match theirs).
Too many to list them all here, but here are a few training things that work for me (and what they do for me in parens), and a few that don't:
1) walking (health)
2) cold water exposure (health)
3) complexes -- barbell, kb, etc and complex lifts like 2-kb long cycle clean and jerk (body comp/hypertrophy)
4) swings (lower back, hip and hamstring health, "cardio")
5) deadlifts (max strength -- the only max strength lift I do, but always sub max and always double overhand)
6) short, simple workouts -- one or two lifts, or a complex (time management)
7) kettlebells -- if I were constructing a minimalist gym and cost and/or space was a factor, the one non-negotiable item would be a pair of KBs, 24 or 28k (time management, health)
Bonus things that don't work for me at this time:
1) running (I've always hated it and I've tried to start more times than I've tried to get into The Wire, it just never sticks)
2) lifting programs that have a lot of percentages and/or require a spreadsheet -- on this day you will lift 92.5% of your 1RM for 5 sets of 3 with a 4-1-4 tempo -- gah!!!
3) training to compete -- I'm just thankful that I can train and do something I enjoy (mental health)
