After work is done, and you don’t have any more chores to do, how do you spend your time? What makes up a “good day” for you?

A lot of my time is taken up by my kids. But on a usual day after work:
Listen to podcasts on the way back from work.
Get home and sit around the kids while they run amok and I scroll through my messages and RSS feeds.
Sort out the kid’s and my own dinner and then get them ready for bed. Putting them to sleep takes over an hour. I play games on the Steam Deck in the dark at this time and have an attachment to hold my phone above the Steam Deck screen so I can watch TV shows and movies on this dual screen gaming setup.
After bed time there’s usually enough time for a workout in the garage and one other activity (usually a project I have going, something I’m learning or life admin).
The weekends are this same stuff padded out with trips out to keep the kids entertained.
I can’t imagine a life in which I’m stuck trying to figure out what to do with my time. Even if I’m off work and the kids are looked after, there are still and endless number of things I want to read, write, hear, watch, learn, practice and make.
Damn that actually sounds exhausting with kids around. I know you cherish them but I can’t even get myself to do my things let alone care for two other mini human beings.
