The present perfect tense instead of the present simple

Hi there,

Which tense is preferable and why in the following sentence:
"I _______ (be) too exhausted to do anything in the evenings once I get home."

Thanks for answers in advance.

Use "am" (the Simple Present Tense) because "get" is also Simple Present Tense. Also, your sentence refers to something you do not do every evening. It's a routine
