Best Ways to Optimize Time Outside of Work?

Hi everyone, I’m starting my summer analyst stint in a couple weeks in NYC and wanted to get some input from anyone who interned last summer/full-timers on what they do to make the most out of their time outside of the office and how they handle the small trivial tasks in life.

For example, do any of you guys use a laundry service instead of doing it yourself to save time? Use hello fresh type meals instead of cooking/meal prepping at home?

Looking for any advice (within a reasonable price ofc) on how I can waste less time on the small stuff so I can maximize my free time outside of work for stuff like relaxation, the gym, seeing friends etc.

Thanks for any advice!
