Some options: - Learn a new language - Solve something that annoys you - Automate something that wastes your time - Explore a different area. Programmer? Try working with hardware instead (build something on Arduino) - Read some books

Above all, appreciate the chance to stop, relax and think. These opportunities become increasingly rare as you get older.

Yes I am doing exactly that these days, I am learning German and also learning machine learning, but I feel like all these things are not helping me to achieve anything. Like even if I learn machine learning now the machine learning standards at the moment is miles away. So what's the purpose, because of all this I decided to ask from you guys :)
You don't have to be the best at something to get use out of it. Sounds like you need to think a bit more about what you actually want to achieve.
