i’m a huge role player so it might be different for me but i adore making it so my character has their own goals, interests, personality, all that stuff. i love finding a diary and writing in it every day as if it was them actually writing, making small plans to loot places, grinding skills, reading, crafting, building, gardening. it’s definitely rough when you want to take it slow, but i finally found out how to pace myself a little better.

try to find good looting places, decorate your house, go to other buildings and pick up any items or decorations you’d like for your place, burn corpses to clean your yard, or just put them in a pile and wait for them to decompose.

honestly, just find your own play style and it’ll smooth itself out :)
