Ask HN: What are your hobbies?

Lately I've been trying to get away from anything involving a screen outside of work. At the moment I'm spending a lot of time cooking and working on basic repair projects around the house. Once it gets warmer, I'll transition to things like camping, gardening, and fishing. I've also wanted to get into bow hunting, but it's not popular in my area so I haven't found anyone to go with.

Running, building small SaaS projects that dont make money, lifting

I asked myself that question at the start of the year and the answer was: I have none! I realised that I was rapidly approaching retirement age and I had nothing to do when I stop software stuff!

So I've changed all that and tried a few things. I've settled on golf (used to play as a child - I'm 49 now) and playing piano (played that as a child too).

Anyway... I'm happy af now (only way to put it).

Not to sidetrack this but I reckon unfinished stuff is a definite cause of mid-life crisis: I realised that I start many things but don't finish them and often use the excuse, "meh, it wasn't for me!" to justify it and funnily enough, from the middle of last year to this year I was decidedly unhappy but couldn't put my finger on it. Since I picked up the piano and golf again (both things I quit at before), I've never been happier.

Anyway, golf and piano :-D

Rock climbing.
