I think as primarily a community of engineers or engineering affiliated people we immediately try and find a rational solution to things, but there is likely more to the way you’re feeling than something like ‘finding a new hobby’ can actually help with. If you’re stressed out about relaxing or feel like you’re spending your time wrong, one thing that can help steer your thoughts a bit is finding/talking to a therapist. You may find that watching TV is what you actually want to do after everything else is considered. Or you may find that there’s something else you’ve been putting off for other reasons that is making you feel guilty about doing ‘less productive’ things. A therapist can really help guide your thoughts more personally than a group of strangers on the internet can(although plenty of random internet advice is also fine!).
