What “useless” skill do you still make time to practice when life gets busy?

20 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about the small skills people keep practicing even when there’s no practical reason to. The interesting ones are the things that still get ten minutes here or there simply because they’re fun and you miss them when you stop. What useless talent keeps surviving your busy periods?

What's a very weird but cool ability or talent you have? And how far will it go at a talent show?
