I have a pretty hectic life. Two small kids, a job that involves an endless stream of meetings interspersed by screen work, hobbies that involve being outside for multiple hours at a time multiple times a week.

When the dust settles at the end of a day, the kids are in bed and the housework is done, I want my entertainment to be as low key as possible. Curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a good book is an excellent way to detox and reset; I'm just not in the market for any more stimulation than that!

As a fellow parent to two kids, how the hell do you find time to spend multiple hours outdoors, multiple times per week?

Very co-operative mother!

I'm a politics person, and knocking the doors is a significant part of the deal. 2 hours per door knock 2-3 times per week is not at all unusual. Also council meetings and various party meetings scattered amongst the evenings.

Nice! For me it's limited to gym twice a week and then reading and stuff, maybe a night out with friends once in a while. Hopefully when the nights get better, we'll have some more energy.
