Hobbies that pay for themselves are fun. Get a laser engraver and learn to design cool tchotchkes to sell online. It won't pay nearly what a side-gig will, but it also won't feel like "work" as much.

My partner sells organization plans/charts on Etsy and makes more than beer money off of it. She just does it for fun and throws whatever she makes online. Sometimes it doesn't sell, other times it sells like 3-4 units, and rarely she'll have a hit that sells hundreds.

It's actually pretty cool that every few days, Etsy throws a two figure check in our bank account.

I sell on Etsy and while the design/idea phase is fun the rest is just menial labor and customer service. I'd call it an interesting life experience more than fun.

What do you mean by "organization plans/charts"? I'm imagining someone drawing org charts for imaginary companies and selling them to... I don't know who the customers for that sort of thing would be.

She is a nurse, so she mostly makes printouts that are useful for nurses to help them organize their work in some capacity or another.
