I try (keyword try) to stick to my base routine that involves sleep, work, exercise, cook food/prep, washing/cleaning, meditation, duolingo practice, shopping for necessities and non-essentials that makes things a little nicer e.g. new high thread bedding and bed topper, coffee (for the times I give myself a reward for staving it off for several days), oil-infused humidifyer. Reading and writing is also thrown in whenever I can stop myself from procrastinating on youtube. All that fills up most of my daily time, I always find I have a list of things to do but either put them off or don't get around to it which is my struggle to have true "free time". That's probably the crux of it, being able to forget about work and have your mind taken off it. Perhaps making a vacation plan that will ensure you are busy having a new experience or relaxing whatever it may be to take your mind off work. After all our employment does occupy most of minds on a daily basis.
