I love doing laundry so much it's probably one of my favorite things to do everrrr. I get to turn off my brain and fold and sort. Nothing better! I do laundry once a week, including sheets and pillow cases. I'm kinda a germaphobe, everything needs to be clean all the time... I feel reborn after laundry day!
and not doing wash n’ fold. (In the case that both are in your price range!) It’s such a therapeutic hands-on task, only takes about an hour, and is good people watching.
it’s very much just me time get to put on the show i’m watching and just go through the pile and fold all the clothes then run through the house putting them away i just love it
You'll have to find items based on your own skin (dry/oily/sensitive/acne/whatever) But the basics with long term science behind them:
Cleanser at night
Lotion at night
Retinol at night if you want it (read about how to use it first!) Rinse in the morning
Sunscreen in the morning
Vitamin c in the morning if you want it (again, read about how to use it first) Find a combo aha+bha exfoliatiant 1 to 3 times a week Be as gentle as you can while still being effective for your skin type.
Everything else is either extra or something you decide you need based on your skin type
Pack a lunch (save time+money)
Go away from your work (outside, your car, next door, whatever you have available to actually get a real break from work)
Audiobook, reading, podcasts, watch movies/shows in pieces, "micro" workouts, learn something (crochet, coding, new language, whatever) Also, 10 minutes of meditation is all it takes to start seeing the benefits
