do you want a list?! I have adhd and 1.324 different hobbies and projects in different stages of completeness. If I had free time I would get 200 more hobies and start 200 more project without finishing the ones before lol
I have ADHD and my hobby is collecting hobbies. I don’t typically get bored. I would likely need to do some side gig to supplement buying things for new hobbies.
That’s my current situation after retiring a few years ago. I stay busy with personal software projects, running a weekly in-person D&D campaign and playing in others, cooking, 3d design and printing, Arduino/ESP and electronics, woodworking, reading, TV & movies, and random crafting and other stuff that comes up.
Read, learn, create, and explore.
Gardening, fishing, skiing, hunting, making furniture, building boats, long road trips with the family.
Basically typical retirement shit.
House in the middle of the woods, with internet connection. It’s the weird eremite techno wizard life for me.
I’d work on cars. And my house. It feels like I’m fighting entropy, I fix one thing and find 2 more problems in the process. But I know some of that is just the previous home owner doing a bunch of diy.
Learn to wood work and build furniture. I have a deep, deep loathing for flat pack furniture.
Garden. I’d love to have a proper garden.
Honestly. I’d just like to be rid of my anxiety over finances.
Continue to work for extra shit probably. Sure basic needs are met, but I don’t think basic needs count for computer parts, drones, supplies for home improvements. My life would be easier on bills but would still need funds for projects and hobbies.
Chill on the couch. Watch Youtube. Go for bike rides. Learn the ukulele and go busking for fun. Do papercraft. I was able to do this for about 5 years, and then I had to go back to work, just as I was really getting my creative juices going.
Would finally make my dream game.
Work out, do DIY at home, volunteer at my local cat shelter and dedicate more time to making music, gaming and general computer fiddlin’. If it was literally just basic needs with no cash maybe host some services for people on a small scale or teach about self hosting for money to afford luxuries.
Short answer: work less.
Long answer: I actually enjoy my job, and have for a long time. If I had won several million long ago I would have kept my job because it (most of the time) was very fulfilling and important, though it has largely wrecked my body.
Now I can’t fly anymore, so while my job is still important and fulfilling, it’s not nearly as exciting, and I am constantly crazy busy, so I’d love to cut my hours about in half, probably. I’d still want to work.
Oh, and I’d build a forge in my backyard. So maybe work the same amount, but some of my time crafting things.
Write, read and analyze literature. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it as a job.
I’d love to go back to school, not for better grades, but purely for learning. There are some interesting af fields out there!
Make and restore furniture. Build shit. Garden. Read. Organize and fill out my media library. Learn programming and try to fix some of the problems I’m dealing with on Linux. Probably socialize more because I wouldn’t be tired of dealing with people and stressed out from work all the time.
