I’ve been stuck in the work, recharge, repeat cycle for about a decade now. I’m looking to get back into hobbies and activities to enjoy my free time and possibly meet other folks.

I’ve heard you should have 3 types of hobbies: something to keep you fit, something to keep you creative, and something that can make some money. I’ve considered gym/triathlon (fitness) and woodworking (creative/income).

What are your hobbies? Anything you recommend I try out?

    Fitness: cycles through the year, some combination of running, indoor climbing, rowing or dragonboat, backpacking

    Creative: woodcarving, music, gardening

    Moneymaker: nope, I am fortunate enough to have one job with good salary. I do not turn hobbies into side hustles.

    Instead of moneymaking, the third category I look for is social. Many of my hobbies can be solo, so I want to make sure I’m doing something that has me out meeting new people. And that my socialization doesn’t become predominantly meeting friends in bars.
