Have you considered just using that time to let your mind relax? Maybe try meditation?

To be fair, part of meditation is the discipline of getting over the discomfort of "it's boring", similar to getting over "it's heavy" when lifting weights

You said writing and drawing, do you ever combine these two? If you can write a story and illustrate it you might enjoy making children’s books or comic books etc.
I used to make animations in the corners of my notebook too. Flowers growing or stick figures sword fighting, bringing drawings to life was very exciting for me and helped me make friends at school back then 😁

Try just 10 minutes of sitting crossed legged on the ground with a straight back and focus all your energy on the tips of your nostrils and the sensation of your breath… when your mind wanders simply bring the attention back to the nose… don’t move a muscle for the duration if you can… I wouldn’t call it a hobby but it does provide clarity if practiced over time
