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.

    If I am actually bored, I also start cleaning things you don’t usually clean. Footboards, light switches, the fridge… Put away stuff you won’t use in the next month.
    But right now I am considering to put cooking from chores to hobby category in my mind. If I try to look at it as fun instead of have to - I think I will do it more. And my sourdough starter is ready to go also.

      That’s a great way to reframe cooking! When I’m feeling bored of it or am dreading cooking, sometimes picking out a new recipe helps me get excited about it again.
