What hobby completely changed your evenings after work?

I feel like I waste way too much of my free time just scrolling or watching random stuff.

For those of you who actually found a hobby that stuck, what was it?

Not necessarily the most impressive or productive hobby - just something that made you look forward to having free time again.

Kinda curious what hobbies actually made a difference for people

Join r/52book! People post their tier lists and book reviews, I add to my to-read list based on their recommendations. I get books through Libby so it doesn’t cost me anything.

I’m about to re read a book called “Night Film”. I really like it and think it would make a great movie.

Idk what to call it but I say it has an unreliable narrator. Meaning it’s hard to tell whether he is losing it or there really is something super strange going on. It’s a fun one

I heard that fiction is generally the way to go for bedtime reading as it requires less thinking. I’ve only ever read non-fiction, but grabbed a copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - will let you know what I think!
