Looking for a new hobby to take up my time.
Hello all,
I have become so tired of my current daily routine that I strongly want to funnel my time and efforts into something new. Currently, I spend all day at work on the computer, and then when I'm home I study and also spend leisure time on the computer as well. I'm so tired of it.
I want to channel my energy into something I can do with my hands away from screens and make something cool and hopefully even get good at it.
I would love suggestions on things to try. Unfortunately, I don't have many ideas and not sure what kinds of things are out there.
Some things I'm looking for (which may be too strict, but I am open minded):
- Something that requires a degree of finesse/skill to build up to get good at
- something with progression as you get better you can make more complicated things
- something that doesnt have a huge start up cost
- something that doesnt require machinery/objects that would not work in a small apartment
- something that isn't purely repetitive (cross-stitching for example)
- something that allows creativity without necessarily being the "best artist"
Some ideas I was interested in from seeing videos were fancy jewelry making (but requires a lot of equipment and space), making items out of leather (coin purses, wallets, etc).
I am very open minded though so I would appreciate any suggestions!
