Let me explain the question: I have several hobbies like playing the guitar, sometimes singing, walking and enjoying nature, reading and lately sunbathing while hearing an audio book.

Playing an instrument, singing and reading end up being tiring, even if I enjoy the music and the reading. I feel I have to stop after being concentrated for an hour.

Quieter hobbies, like walking to enjoy nature end up being boring as well. The only completely passive hobby I have is sunbathing and it all depends on how interesting the audio book is.

Sometimes I’d like to practice a hobby, but I’m so tired I end up lazying around, watching a stupid youtube video but thinking I should do something else.

What else could I do? Any other completely passive hobbies?

No drugs, no alcohol.

    I do my future self favors!

    Oftentimes I may want to listen to a podcast or whatever, but don’t have anything specific to do with my hands. So I tend to tackle tasks that don’t get done daily - cleaning the microwave, folding and putting away the clean laundry, vacuuming, making my bed, weeding the garden, etc.

    There’s always something that needs doing around the house. And it’s very calming and enjoyable to be able to come home to everything in it’s place and no weird smells from the kitchen haha
