>Hone a hobby
definitely. I would highly recommend creating something. Woodwork, metalwork, sculpting, crochet... whatever.
It uses the brain in a completely different way. it creates new challenges and the satisfaction of physically manipulating the world is unequal in the digital world.
- colanderman 4y agoYep. Tunnel guy [1] knows what's up. I got far more satisfaction from tying twist-ties around my grape vines today, than anything software I've done in the past month. My grape vines were droopy, now they're not. Tangible. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31096994 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31096994
- mromanuk 4y agoYes. I’m making croissants also bread. It’s super fulfilling. Then you share and enjoy your tasty creation with your friends and family
- croon 4y agoI'm more of a cook than a baker, but absolutely agree. We have tiny humans currently, so cooking for pleasure is much rarer at the moment, but when they get old enough I can't wait to get back into exploring more foods and trying new recipes and doing it together.

- blakblakarak 4y agoWhy not combine them ? - personally mountain biking + photography. My brother does boat restoration + sailing etc.
- laszlojamf 4y agoSecond this, would add any musical instrument to the list. You don't even have to be any good at it. Just improvise and see what comes out. The value for me lies in not being able to "think" about it. You just have to do it. It's not a problem to be solved but something to be discovered.
