I've given up a lot of outside contacts. The kind where there really wasn't any value to the contact, just a have coffee and gossip type contact. I now do things with other quilters, go to shows, retreats, road trips etc. I enjoy the day and feel good after a day of stitching. We do a lot of charity projects for nursing homes, etc. So our time together benefits the community. I've given up a lot of TV time, but do not miss that a bit. I find most TV shows just are not that interesting. Also hate the violence type shows. Or shows where nasty language is used (this is cable type shows) Haven't gone to movies for years as the film is played to loud and all the violence and bad language just isn't worth me spending my $$. rather buy fabric. grin
I start every day with a 2 - 5 mile walk, so exercise isn't a problem. Love my slow cooker as I can put food in there and dinner is ready when we are. I think we make time for the things we really want to do.
