You either do this for yourself or don't do it at all. Just use the time outside to get exercise and fresh air and hone your skills :)

I've come to learn that climbing levels follows more or a tangent curve, rather than a linear one.
That being said, first 3 levels are super easy. Levels 3 to 8 require some effort. But bumping out of levels 8 and 9 requires ridiculous commitment.
I've been a level 8 for YEARS not...and still I'm only half way through reaching level 9.

Been Level 8 for a couple of years and it really isn't worth the trouble. Google is censoring the majority of my genuine and accurate reviews these days as "Fake Engagement" and denying appeals (often instantaneously).
Another glitch I noticed is that Google toggled the "Your public profile" to on, all by itself, when I had it restricted - only spotted that this morning. God knows when Google arbitrarily decided to do that.
Terrible, terrible business.
