Well, as it must happen with some gamers, sometimes I get overloaded with work or household chores... and without much enthusiasm to finish anything (shame on me).

When this happens, I usually play games that have fixed rounds, alternating each turn with a task. For example: I put the clothes to wash and play one turn, wash the dishes and play another turn, and so on… This helps me to do some tasks without feeling overwhelmed or sad because I am unable to dedicate a lot of time to myself or because I don't take care of my house and other responsibilities (ok, it's weird, but it works).

So… I need very specific games, which have regular time shifts. Like This War of Mine (which was the first game I won here, four years ago) and This is The Police I and II, which divide the shifts into days, where you perform some actions and then end the round.

4x games don’t work, because the initial turns of the game are very fast (since you have little to manage), and the final turns are too long (since you have a million cities, soldiers, workers and enemies to worry about). The ideal is that the turns always have an approximate duration (around 10 minutes, perhaps?).

If you can recommend something that can help me (while I still have fun) I will be very grateful. : )

For those who have not yet had the opportunity to play any of the games I mentioned, click here.

There is no reason to be ashamed.
The bigger the chaos, the more difficult the level is to find a beginning.
If this path works for you, then that's nice.
You can also make a game out of it.
Here's a little pause filler for you, but you should set the "swipe timer" in your smartphone.
Because some levels can take a little longer than you think.

This game has mechanics similar to Evo Explores, but with much more freedom of movement.

I will try to play it at some point. Thanks, Dylldophlo. : )

Interesting topic. You're probably not looking for console games, but the WarioWare games make you play a series of microgames until you fail. I think there've been some PC games that have copied this gameplay, but I can't think of any that I might have stumbled across at some point. I think the "10 Second Ninja" games are a bit like this.
