11: manga/manhwa, bed/couch web surfing, travel
13: American/European comics, magazines, PDF markup, docked on the work desk as a supplementary device for Zoom, web browsing, chat, etc. while working on spreadsheets on the dual-monitor PC
I basically rarely use the 13 (well 12.9 M1) once I get home. That said, the Mini 6 gets far more use than the 11. I bought the 11 before I got my Mini.
Still, I find the 11 with Display Zoom set to More Space invaluable for travel for websites that don’t play nice with the Mini’s small screen. Also, it’s the 1TB model so I can dump plenty of videos on it.

11” m4 and 13” M1
I use the 11” only. It’s more portable, lighter, easier to use on the train, has a longer battery life. When I have a day full of meetings I only take the 11”. I can write notes on it, find back files, documents and mails etc. And when I have an hour to spare I connect it to a 34” external display and have a reasonable productive workstation. When at my home office the 11” is still my notebook laying flat at the right side of my desk.
For all of these uses the 13” is rather big an hardly any better then the 11”. Only things the 13” shines are at reading magazines, comics and especially at reviewing and annotating pdfs. But I can make do with the 11”.

I have both for very different use cases.
My 11" Pro is my walk the house around device. Email, web surfing, occasional game, smart home.
My 13" Pro usually sits on my desk for video and photo editing, watching videos while working on my Mac Studio. I bring it around the house when I need it to function as a laptop.
