Where does that leave relaxation, besides sleep? It makes it very tempting to sneak time off other schedules, like work, family time, or late nights to relax. In reality, that's an unhealthy habit, and you just end up with not getting work done and/or not enough sleep and exercise.
If you could intentionally block off a few hours of your day or week to entertainment, when would it be and what would you enjoy most?
I get online around 0930 or 1000. So that 2 hours wandering around the backyard and casually browsing Slack is my slow, relaxing way to start the day. I put zero pressure on myself to do anything before 0930
I take lunch around 1300. I watch TV while I eat. Usually something recorded the night before (I love The Titan Games and Ultimate Tag. easy to just “watch” w/o too much thought).
Work from 1400 till around 1830 or 1900. Now during this time, I’ll take the dog out for a few quick potty breaks and do some more stretching mobility each time I’m out.
Do my weight lifting, take the dog for a long walk, eat dinner, and then read some articles I’ve been meaning to read, read a technical book, read fiction, or just plop down on the couch and watch TV.
Long story long - I don’t try to schedule relaxing time. I fit it in throughout the day. Somedays I have more than others. It all balances out. I think if you go about your day trying to schedule every second, you’re just putting undue stress on yourself. And even in your scheduled relaxation time, you’re not really. That’s just my 2 cents...
