Any tips on how to practice quietly, without disturbing anyone reading, sleeping or watching TV?

Get a Risa stick?

I absolutely love those. They are very meditative and very relaxing after long days.Daniel Ward's Arpeggio Meditations on a uke with a side sound hole.
Easily played at a low, background volume under even nearby conversation as the side sound port directs more to your ear as the player, allowing you to play softer overall. Plus, they are very pretty arrangements that are indeed meditative, both for the player and for listeners.
SOFTLY hit the strings. I play a resonator, and even that can be quietly played. Most wooden ukes can be gently picked and strummed as to only be slightly audible.
Buy a solid bodied uke.
I practice more on my solid bodied electric Risa ST tenor than I do on my acoustic uke, I do not use an amp and headphones as the sound out of the uke is loud enough for me but anyone in the next room will not hear me.
