I get very stiff if I sit for a long period of time so I quilt for 45 - 60 minutes at a time then do a household chore. Some get done every day ie, the dishes others on a rotating basis vacuuming, dusting, mopping. I get sewing time and the house stays decent. This has been harder to do since my husband retired. He seems to get in the way or wants to do things. He does cook and do the dishes and helps with the heavy stuff.
