I became very curious about juggling when I was younger, so one afternoon I started learning how to juggle 3 balls, using some oranges and an animated .gif. My fascination with juggling only lasted for about a year, during which I learned how to juggle 3 and 4 balls (still can't do 5), flowersticks/devilsticks, diabolos and poi. I remember that learning each one got successively easier. That being said, I'm not a particularly good juggler. Learning just the basics of each juggling prop and maybe a couple of tricks, was enough to satisfy my curiosity. I like keeping a set of soft juggling balls around. You can squish them, play with them and throw them at people. Getting up from my chair and juggling for a few minutes really helps reduce the strain on my eyes, back, wrists and mind. I also do some of my best thinking during those minutes. I'd recommend juggling to any hackers that spent a lot of time in front of a monitor.
