Question

Answer

Context is everything

This is called a closed question, ie it can be answered yes or no.  But you can treat it like an open question and answer say.  "Yes I often do, about once a week".  This shows I'm interested in taking this discussion further.  If you say "No, not often, only once a week".  This suggests you are not interested so let's talk about something else.

Answer

You can simply say
“Yes (I do)” - If you do it often
or
“No (I don’t)”  - If you don’t do it often
