I've been stuck in the work, recharge, repeat cycle for about a decade now. I'm looking to get back into hobbies and activities to enjoy my free time and possibly meet other folks.

I've heard you should have 3 types of hobbies: something to keep you fit, something to keep you creative, and something that can make some money. I've considered gym/triathlon (fitness) and woodworking (creative/income).

What are your hobbies? Anything you recommend I try out?

For fitness running, walking and weightlifting. For creativity reading, writing, sketching. For money, software development.

I'd recommend keeping a semi regular (daily to weekly) diary above everything else. It's been invaluable to be able to check in with myself. It's also fun to work on your lettering.

I don't have any. I play videogames almost every day but it's just more out of routine than enjoyment, hell few days playing ranked matches ruins my mood and I quit before losing because fuck them, is ruining my night anyways.

Never too late to pick up a hobby. Can be intimidating to start exploring and trying new stuff, but it’s worth it.

Drawing, videogames, and swimming.

Fighting games and Riichi Mahjong.

There's usually a local event for at least one of the games I play every month or so. I travel out to Combo Breaker every year for the big major as well.

For Riichi Mahjong, the local club here meets every week. Haven't had the chance to attend a big tournament yet, but I'm hoping I can fit one into my travel budget at some point.

Photography, cryptography, anamorphosis art, regular art, writing, and hiking. Looking for people who also enjoy these.
