I’m pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

  • Learning some magic tricks
  • Learning some origami
  • Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

    Whittling and woodworking are both extremely rewarding hobbies - depending on how much space you have.

      Whittling seemed like something I could do indoors more easily without too much mess. We have a furnace and a giant woodpile so you’d think it’d be perfect, problem is when I try to carve something it’s too seasoned* to do much more than carve the bark off. Probably doesn’t help that I’m using a gas station knife, but it’s probably the wood itself being most of the issue.

      I usually had luck with the rotary tool (probably because I usually don’t need to get rid of too much material), but once I tried to use the angle grinder with a cheap toothy power-carving disk on a small-ish log and I could barely put a small bevel on it.

      *= Requested for carving even, not just something I picked out.
