Do you all have any tips on activities to do yourself, instead of consuming content all the time? - eviltoast

I’m pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

  • Learning some magic tricks
  • Learning some origami
  • Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

    Maybe try programming? It’s incredibly exciting once you get the hang of it. It can be frustrating at times but it’s really rewarding. Since becoming my hobby/job its given me an endless source of things to do at home. Plus it can open up new career paths :)

      After college, I taught teens basic programming. Like how to build little tools like dice or games. Or how to create a website.

      One kid works for Microsoft as a engineer.

      Never know where it takes you!
