Any sort of crafting hobby, which ranges from making clothes to making swords to making furniture.

Graphical arts, digital and analog (which covers everything from painting with all different types of paints to mixed media, large format, small format, from the side of a building to the size of a grain of rice)

These are all mostly looks-based, but you can also make things that do things, make electronics, restore old electronics, go antiquing for vinyl players, go antiquing for anything else.

Join a choir, join a band, join a barbershop quartet, go to the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival and listen to sea shanties.

The list goes on.

It always amazes me how many people are subscribed to /r/woodworking. There are some people out there living it up.

And I can never tell if my coworkers don’t have cool hobbies or the urge to bring them up has been beaten out of them.

For me it is brewing, cooking, infusing vodkas, and gardening.

Cooking is an interesting one because I try to learn various cuisines reasonably well and some of the dishes from places like Indonesia are very complex.

All of these have the point in common that they cannot be rushed so they force a mentality of taking it slow, which I think helps with the time anxiety as well.
