Prepping as already suggested helps a lot. But make use of appliances too.
A fish fillet can cook in the oven in 40 minutes but does not require care while cooking.
A slow cooker is a god send. You can start your ribs the night before and they'll be ready for lunch.
Then pasta takes 10 minute to cook and you can just prep some veggies/souces in advance.
For a game it has to be Outer Wilds...
And please do yourself a favor and play it the one time you're allowed in this lifetime if you've not yet done it, as you can.
Other wilds as already suggested Is a must play. But a strong second contender for me Is cocoon. Logic/environment puzzles, with no hand holding in any way, you have to figure out everything but the level design Is sooo good.
Honorable mention for Tunic.
I had a "portable" 286 PC with DOS. And two games. Bubbles Bubbles and a game with two chimps throwing Bananas at each other.
I would add Outer Wilds to the list.
You can really only play it once in a lifetime but I think it's the best video game experiences available.
Honorable mention for Tunic and Cocoon for the same reason
