Stuck in jail or hospital
Try one jailbreak or physio session per stay, and keep working on your professions.
Once per jail stay you can try to break out: a quick lockpicking, sneaking or rune puzzle. Win and you walk free; get caught and the guards add 15 minutes (never past the two-hour cap).
Once per hospital stay you can do a physio session, a short memory drill. Do it well and half of your remaining time is cut; failing costs nothing.
Gathering and crafting work in jail and hospital too, so the wait is never wasted.
