i need to pick up a few hobbies on my days off from work or my time off from work.

fitness/working out is no longer a hobby for me but rather an integrated part of my life so i turn to you hnf to give some ideas on hobbies to pick up.

things i currently do;

investing
reading (books, news, investing/financial models etc)
hands on work (yard, house, etc)
poker
there is more just cant think of lol

looking for some fun ideas that i can turn into a routine even if its a 1 day per work activity.

lmk brahs!

Musical instrument
graphic design

cooking (like more advanced)
carpentry
metal working
fermenting (brewing beer/making wine)

learn a new language like chinese or spanish..would be hard if you have no one else to practice it with though.

a sport?

As he said above, Carpentry is always a good skill to learn regardless if you wanted to fulfill a career in it

as for me I enjoy playing pool lol

play soccer/ participate in work intramural sports.

i like these ideas so far guys thanks a lot keep them coming!

musical instrument is something i have been thinking of picking back up. too bad i sold them all for booze money back in university lol. i might pick up the piano again!

@igotthatfiya yes! a new language is fun, i have thought about the idea of either spanish or continuing with french.

as for carpentry that does sound like a good hobby, one that can also be monetized as well.

travelling is also on the list but need more $ from work

woodworking is something i want to pick up when i have time/space. i wanna learn how to make beautiful furniture

cooking
music
moderate video games

be very careful with this one.

most people would be better off putting their money in a sp500 index and letting it run on its own.

you wouldnt try and beat kobe in a 3 point contest, so dont try and beat hedge fund managers in an investing contest

edit: thought it said "things youre thinking about doing"

you probably already know what i posted then.

edit edit: start getting into convertible bonds imo.

i got a good book if you have any interest in them.
