- hobbies: pick just two, and ideally one of them should bring you together with friends, so that time counts under "seeing people" too.
- exercise: I work in some walking in my commute, sometimes combined with bus. My home treadmill is next to my standing desk.
- cleaning: Bare fucking minimum. I find it helps to allow myself to just sweep clutter into a box and sort the box out later if tidyness is urgent.

- cooking: weekdays, no shame in starting with a jar or packet, and just adding some fresh veg. Fri/Sat often have a go from scratch.
- Sleep: no devices in bedroom. Ever.
- Kids: yeah, basically just accepted I was constantly exhausted and nothing was really fun for 15 years.
