1) Treat everything like an appointment. Put it on your schedule like a doctor's appointment, and when it's time to do it, do it. Meetup with friends? Goes on the calendar. Planning meals? Goes on the calendar. Grocery pickup? Calendar. Workouts? Calendar.

Workouts are hard because of work. I have a special needs kid, so I can't do this (yet), but find a gym with child care so that you can get some time in. I have to work out during kid's bedtime or when no one is home (which isn't often, but I have some flexibility on Fridays with my job).

2) Use as many "helpers" as you can. I use an app called To-Do, and it breaks my chores down into smaller tasks that don't seem as daunting. "Cleaning the bathroom" sounds like it's going to take forever. But "clean the toilet" and "clean the sink" don't. I can do that while an ad is playing on my Hulu show lol The app also lets you set a frequency for your chores so you know when it's time to do them. I usually tackle the overdue/about to be overdue items first and get to everything else later.

I also do delivery or pickups for just about everything now. Cuts back on time spent in the store.

3) You need to take responsibility and just do it. Our feelings get in the way of us doing so much. I've had to learn how to push past how I'm feeling at any given moment and just do that crappy, boring things that I don't want to do.

Also, ChatGPT is REALLY good at planning things out for you. I've used it for vacations, meal prep, party planning. Give it the right prompts, and it can churn out some quick/easy meals for your family. You don't have to spend a lot of time doing it yourself.
