I love most of your suggestions - perhaps expect the playing a sports part which may not suit me that well :D

But as a parent, I find it increasingly difficult to carve time even for a coffee enjoyed in silence, let alone for going somewhere with more sheep than people.

So what I do is immerse myself in playing with my 3yo. Like just being there and staring at the things he's staring at, spending time with him with absolutely no agenda.

I think this is it, taking moments to enjoy without a plan, just because you can or just because you need.
