Do you all have any tips on activities to do yourself, instead of consuming content all the time? (feddit.nl)

I'm pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

Learning some magic tricks
Learning some origami
Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

The word you are looking for is "hobby."

Haha yeah okey, but I was looking more towards smaller things to do in the evening. Hobby sounds way more committed, but from these responses it seems like it doesnt need to be. Thanks anyway!

Lol all good. Hobby is just the general term for something you like doing. It can be as hardcore as climbing Mount Everest or be as casual as "I bought a guitar 5 years ago and I try to play it once in a while."
