How do you unwind after a demanding day?

Many ways I unwind after a long demanding day. I’ll usually throw on one of my comfort shows, some new YouTube videos I haven’t seen yet, or try something new if I’m feeling adventurous.

Usually it will be something as background noise though that I can zone out to, which is why I pick comfort shows so often. I also may just listen to music.

I will usually play games on my phone or check my email accounts while I watch or listen to other things or scroll through Facebook for a bit.

If it’s early enough before bed I will play a game on one of my systems like my switch lite or my playststion, or oculus (I also do work at other times on the oculus with my desktop streaming app).

If I have the energy to devote to the task I’ll try reading one of the many books or listen to one of the many audio books I’ve impulsively bought over the years.

To socialize I will call distant relatives and watch TV in separate locations with them (takes a bit of extra work and isn’t quite the same as physically being there, but it works for us). I also love getting to talk to my niece and nephews. All 3 are still cute babies!

Most of the time for socializing after work I spend real in person time with my mom and her first cousin. If I’m lucky my teenage and pre-teenage brothers will want to spend some time with me and I won’t be too tired to do it.

So I know it’s not much, and it’s not real exciting (I’m trying to diversify my daily/weekly activities a bit more, but it is what I enjoy.
