I don’t usually use the word “play” now, but I think coming up with new story ideas and character concepts with my family is the closest thing to “playtime” I have.
Also maybe having a dance off, or playing actual board games.
We keep it to indoor activities usually, but sometimes we get outside in nature for a change of pace.
I don’t think of all of the things we do as super fun stuff, but we enjoy doing them together, or at least it makes it less boring and monotonous. I’m not one of those people who has to work alone at every chore to focus, I prefer to share a lot of them, unless I need my space.
I guess my motto is the one from Mary Poppins “In every job that must be done there is an element of fun.”
A good music playlist usually turns most chores into something more fun for me, and makes the time go faster.
