Sometimes you want a hobby free of conflict or challenge. A place to relax, not a place to learn and grow or make money.
Maybe even an excuse to sit there and not really think about much of anything in particular for a while. Let your brain have some big slow thoughts while you watch imaginary space flow past your imaginary spaceship’s cockpit.
- SHAKEDECADE 7y agoSometimes you want a hobby free of conflict or challenge. A place to relax Reminds me of stories I read about people who played Red Dead Redemption 2 purely for the chores and exploration of the land. ..not a place to learn and grow..Let your brain have some big slow thoughts.. When I do mind numbing chores like washing dishes, mowing the lawn, laundry; I can’t help but sit inside my head and have conversations with myself about whatever is deemed important at that moment. As insignificant as these micro chats may be, they’re growth. In turn, learning/experiencing myself to a deeper level. Two quotes come to mind: Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. -Oliver Wendell Holmes Baby steps, Bob. Baby steps. -Dr. Leo Marvin Each new experience, grande or otherwise builds our character.

- keyle 7y ago10 years only reflects how enjoyable and purposeful it's been. I don't think someone wastes 10 years of their lifes without enjoying the process somewhat a little.
- bdcravens 7y agoDepends. 90 minutes a day doesn't seem excessive to me - I know I spend more than 90 minutes many days on HN, and I've had my account almost ten years.
