Something that i think about quite often this, is do i actually spend enough time on my decks. I usually get on them once every couple of weeks. This has in the past led to me thinking about selling up /downgrading from my current setup. Only as i have a stack of vinyl that i play even less than when i use my cdj's.... I know everyone is different etc, life gets in the way and all of that stuff.

I record between 2-3 sets a week. Did around 100 sets in 2020.

I used to record mixes all the time. I'm on the decks at least once a week anyway for my shows but don't really have the time to have random mixes whenever I want, like I used to.

Well, my traktor scratch interface burned out so for the past 2-3 weeks I've been mixing almost every day on my wego. My nephew keeps insisiting I do "DJ's" so I give in and play for him. I've actually found it a little liberating to not worry at all about beat matching using the wego. Main focus: track selection and scratching where appropriate. lol!
I had become so dependent on the traktor DVS that it took me while til I realized I could just spin my old vinyl anyway, as well as using traktor with the wego.
After a little adapting I must say it's fresh and fun again. :)

prior to the burnt out interface, I'd say I was practicing at least twice a week in the last 3-6 months.

Since about 2015 I've been spinning once a week for the radio show.
It seems to be a good balance to keep the rust away.
I had been making mixes since 2004/2005 ish, but I didn't even own a controller until 2012. Before then it was anyone's guess when I'd do a mix, live or not, but it started becoming a regular thing once I had some dedicated gear to work with.
I guess you could count the occasional gig as well. I did a crapton of online gigs last year, since I already conveniently had everything set up to do so. All it really required on my part was to put together sets and make sure I could schedule the dang things in. 
If we're talking just putting together mixes I also do a monthly mix thing using MixMeister, but that is a whole different bag of tricks.

About once or twice per year since my little boy came along 2 years ago. Keep telling myself Ill get back into it but never happens. Planning to get my garage converted at some point and may get it sound-proofed so I can set up the decks in there.

I'm certainly not exclusively vinyl only by any means but I do still play with it a lot.
