Maximising battery life

I was hoping to tap in to some knowledge from the forum on maximising battery longevity.

With my previous DSLRs I never had the need to have more than one battery, with my R5 this is now a must.

My question is should I use my batteries evenly of just use one more than the others? My understanding battery life is all about charge cycles, but do batteries degrade just sitting there?

how do you all manage this?

I rotate batteries as best as possible and always slow or standard charge them, I never fast charge a battery.
