I became a bartender and now am studying for my sommelier certification.

Played more video games, painted a bit more, started watching Babylon 5. It was worth it.

I started knitting!
Though if we're being honest I still spend most of it on Lemmy and Firefish now instead of reddit

I've been working out 2 hours a day and started playing daily sudoku and lichess puzzles

either wasting more time on another worthless thing or casually browsing the internet

Watch YouTube videos lol

I use lemmy obviously. But I've started reading books again rather than doomscrolling until I fall asleep at night, and also more gaming and socialising in general.

I think it was a crutch for my depression.

I've been reading the news through some RSS feeds I have setup. Other than that I've been looking for a decent offline game to play. I have a few that I've player in the past but none of them are particularly great for those awkward periods of time at home when I have 15 to 30 minutes to spare.

All my former doomscrolling time now goes into working out, practicing French on Duolingo and going to events to meet people. So far so great!

[–] krimsonbun@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Playing and practicing golf again. And watching YouTube.

[–] yabai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Are there any good Lemmy golf communities? I kinda miss r/golf

Language learning, reading, catching up on my fav TTRPG stream

Learning UE5. I have no idea what I'm doing but it still feels productive.
