Inspired by the post about being 35, confused in life and without a purpose a lot of folks talked about how they find joy in life through their hobbies. I would like to know what are your hobbies! I'm currently selling a lot of equipment I used for music production because I find it hard to sit in front of a DAW and produce after a 8 hr workday in front of a computer.

#2Traditionally: fencing
Now: golf and squash
I was a fencer for a long time. I've even competed on the national circuit in the past. Ever since the pandemic though, I've looked into other sports. So I've recently started lessons in golf and squash.
I spend most of my day in front of a computer, so any kind of social or athletic outlet is a must for my sanity.

#5Lately I’ve had an increased desire to learn things. Usually I’d be gaming or watching tv shows, now there’s so many shows to catch up on because I apparently like learning. Maybe I was depressed — I don’t know.

#6Long walks. Reading Technical books as leisure (reading Michael Kerrisk's Linux Programming Interface now). Brewing teas and coffees.

#8Reading, Guitar, Piano. I used to go to the gym a lot too before the pandemic disrupted that hobby. I've been meaning to get back into it.

That was a great read, thanks! In my town we have a volunteer bike repair shop that is only open on Thursday afternoons and it's one of the mosz wholesome places out there.

Why woodworking exactly? I read about various cs engineers having this hobby surprisingly often.
