I like to get household chores, shopping etc done in the mornings then, straight after I’ve had lunch, I prep our evening meal. After that I think what time is left is ‘my-time’.
But I think the main decider is my body. I know I spent too long at my machine yesterday because my shoulder is aching today but I just had to get that binding on!
I was the same when I used to machine knit or hand knit - I just don’t seem to be able to pace myself and just do a little.
I wish I could find something worth watching on TV on an evening but I’d much rather be quilting.
