We are retired, 2nd year. First year was terrible, this year a bit better. I sew everyday, usually 3-6 hours. No way would I sew less. Daughter works married with a sixteen year old and 3 dogs. Oldest Granddaughter works two jobs. So everyone can do for themselves.
When I do laundry once a week I sew until clothes need to be switched or folded and put away. If floors need to swept or mopped I do that first few hours I am up. Dogs have tiny feet, don't drag in much dirt and debris. This fall and winter will change that.
Eight years ago I said what I want to do for the rest of my life is make as many quilts as I can. And I have and donate to the foster care kids in my county.
