Many of them are Archbishops and have their own respective dioceses to watch over, some have specific ecclesiastical roles in the goverance of the Church like the heads of congregations that report to the Pope, others assist the pope in the temporal management of the Vatican City State, which was more of an issue is bygone days than it is today, but still requires much work. Others are simply retired and try to aid the Church in whatever capacity they can, even if only through prayer.

Most Cardinals serve as either an Archbishop of major dioceses or the head of major Curia department. Their positions takes up the majority of their time.
In additional, cardinals serve as advisors to the Pope and elect the new Pope when the seat is vacant.
Some cardinals are named after their retirement and beyond voting age (80) in the College of Cardinals. These are honorary positions for a job well done in the past and have no added responsibilities.

Childhood memories:
When I was 9 or 10, my older brother came into the kitchen and told our mother “I just saw a couple of cardinals over on Miller Street.” He was, obviously, talking about the bird Cardinal, but that phrase has always made me think of a file of Cardinals in full regalia, marching in procession down Miller Street.
The things a Child thinks of.

Play golf, and drink scotch. JUST KIDDING HERE.
To answer your question it depends on the Cardinal. Here in the USA, I am sure there is one cardinal(of Chicago) who prays much, visits parishes, and checks to see if there is any heresy in his diocese, and really, really cares about his Archdiocese and is NOT into CAREERISM as others.- Status
