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!

    Forgot to mention that slow-living or whatever you want to call it is valuable. Just spend a while doing nothing. Thinking. Chatting with a friend. Be bored. You’ll probably knock out some chores, and get really motivated to do something big (humans do not like being bored)

    Edit: gonna put more hobbies I think of here

    • Skateboarding/longboarding, roller blading - pretty meditative once you get into the flow
    • kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing - as a kid I went on a week long 100 mile canoe trip that I think heavily impacted my life. I’ve always wanted to do something similar again, but not been able to make it work yet
    • I tried paragliding, but it wasn’t as fun as mountain biking for me so I dropped it
    • I’ve had a lot of fun making dumb games and publishing them for the web, hosting that on GitHub, and using netlify to make it into a website. I bought some domain names for family members so that’s where I put them. I want to spend more time with Godot to get better at making games
    • Engage in the communities of the hobbies you enjoy - you’ll learn and make connections and share your own insights
