How do you spend your weekday evenings?

I'm just curious how other people spend their time in the evenings after work?

You come home, do you have dinner and sit and watch the telly? If you have a partner how much time do you spend with them? Do many people do hobbies or sports?

Don't own a television and don't like sitting around - or any wakeful time wasted doing nothing.

So evenings tend to be quite active for sport, hobbies, partners or kids. The best of course are the times when two or more of those things overlap. But it's always important to me to find times to focus on each exclusively too.

Go to the gym two evenings a week, generally Monday or Tuesday and then Thursday.

Eat out once a week…go out maybe one another night…

otherwise….

movies / TV, gaming, treadmill / bike, reading, boards / general internet surfing

Two gym sessions midweek for an hour.

Two online group-calls (usually an hour/90 minutes).

Ideally, get one midweek run in, but finding they usually go missing until the weekend.

I'd probably cook dinner four out of the five days.

Would still end up spending more evening time than not on my laptop, or watching TV with herself.

Do you tell everyone all the time you don't own a TV?

Play 5 a side 2 nights a week (Mon & Wed)

Cut lawns, some small outdoor jobs - weather permitting or indoor DIY small jobs that need doing.

Help wife with laundry, cooking and menial household chores.

Help kids with homework.

Bring dog for a walk while listening to a podcast or some music.

Only sit down to watch TV at 9pm with the wife - usually Netflix or a good documentary.

Like to do a bit of reading usually for half an hour before bed.

Work from home, and finish work at 5.30. Most days there's a sport training or music lesson to bring one of the kids to. After that, it's back home to cook and eat dinner. We always eat together. Check on the homework, tidy up, get kids to do music practice or whatever, bit of relaxing for them (reading, screen time, whatever). Then send the younger two off to bed around 9, the older one goes not long after. Final tidy up, then make the lunches for school the next day. When that's out of the way, we invite the neighbors around for the Satanic rituals - an orgy, sacrifice or possession, depending on the day - then my wife goes to bed around 11, and I'd stay up and maybe watch a photography tutorial on YouTube before heading to bed around 12. Fairly standard and mundane middle aged life.
