Ask HN: What do you do in your free time?
When I was younger I never really developed any hobbies or things I liked to do. From the end of middle school until I finished college, it seemed like the only thing to do in life was work.
Now I'm out of school and have found myself bored frequently, and I think it's because I don't know how to live life when there isn't some pressing issue to fix or problem to solve.
I feel like an alien crowd-sourcing what others do in their free time, but I figure it's probably a good place to start so I can find something to enjoy in life when I come home (beyond more work). And if anyone else has felt this sort of transition themselves, please feel free to share that experience too!

- civicsquid 7y agoThat's fair. If I had any kids I think that'd be where I'd want to be spending my time anyways (I hope)!

In the weekends hiking, biking or jogging. Trying not to go over the 40 h of work per week. After all, personal time is the most valuable currency!
