No particular order. I've mostly settled into 2,5,6,7.

I can't seem to give up 7 for 1 without hating life, even though going low-sleep sucks a ton. It'd be sweet if we could afford housekeeping to take care of 3, but oh well.

These aren't perfectly identical categories anyway, of course. You can sneak an hour or two worth of 7 in per week depending on what you do, 15 minutes here, 10 there, even if you don't make any other time for it, but doing that with 4 is nearly impossible, and the quality or benefit of any of the activities will tend to be lower that way (you definitely do a fair amount of cleaning no matter what, for instance, though maybe not enough to achieve 3).

Dedicated, significant chunks of time with all the pieces in place for the various activities are what's hard to come by, and what forces in general picking some of them over the others. You just gotta let some stuff go or you'll go insane trying to keep up with it all, and failing to do so anyway.
