Also in Germany, four person household, we have been around 1500kwh per year for years now. Last year we actually spiked a bit to around 1550kwh, it was usually a tick below 1500. We are also away for at least a month every year, but we also have guests frequently. Workload: everything except heating, we cook a lot etc. The thing we don't really use except occasionally is the dryer for the laundry. In general I try to be thoughtful about it, but not to the extent that it becomes a huge sacrifice. E.g. if I boil eggs I just switch them off once they start boiling, the remaining heat in the stove will last for the few minutes, no need to waste energy and it's no effort on my side. Obviously it's a bit different if you have induction, but even there I'd always keep the lid on. Tiny things add up surprisingly quickly. Also in a shared office space where the six of us use around 1000kwh. The biggest waste is probably the old lighting but it's mostly used just in the winter.
