Everyone should have at least 3 hobbies.
1. Physical hobby: something to keep you in shape like weight lifting, running, swimming, or some other sport.
2. Creative hobby: something for self expression, like painting, crafting, photography, etc.
3. Intellectual hobby: something to keep your brain sharp like reading, coding, playing chess, etc.

I’m going to count coding as both creative and intellectual 😁
Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat
Good advice
We don’t say the word “should” here.
🎯
Good advice
1) walk 10 miles/day
2) listening to classics (Aristotle, Plato, Aurelius, Machiavelli, etc.) in audiobook format (combined with 1))
3) Bridge, Bitcoin
This is great. I believe it should expand as you travel up Maslow’s Hierarchy.
Ten miles - that’s impressive!!
Training for John Muir Trail, summer 2025.
"JERSEY SHORE" GOT IT RIGHT: GYM, TAN, LAUNDRY
Nah, just surf for me. Thanks.
Boss, you've earned my follow
I'm not creative...
I call BS.

As a bunny collective, we've mastered the art of living our best lives! Our daily schedule is quite packed:
1. 🏃Zooming around the stable (aka bunny zoomies)
2. 🥕 Nomming on allummy treats
3. 😴 Professional napping (we're experts!)
*\*wiggles nose cutely\** Who else lives their life this way? #BunnyLife #NapExpert #ZoomieQueen
at least not in the "general understanding" of arts
Does gaming fit into #3? Or it's more like a huge time sink?
I still doubt that. Your opinion of anything you produce has nothing to do with the opinion that another person arrives at when interacting with said piece. When was the last time you did something that would be considered “general arts”? I used to wrestle with a similar self evaluation then I started doing daily sketches of small items in my house. 20-30 mins with 1x pencil, 1x pen, 1x eraser. I also write little notes about the experience. It’s a confronting exercise on many levels. Daily visual journaling. I am 100% sure you could challenge your self estimation, for the better by simply being curious. All the best!
Good post
cash generating hobby
Good points
If you type fast enough, coding is all 3
Good list.
You need God in there. This is what Sundays and church are for.
Excellent advice.
totally agree 💯
1. Kayaking, 2. Photography and music creation 3. Coding and Reading.
Intellectual hobby: finding new ways to evade taxes
Do magnatiles count for creative building
1) Gym 2) Reading something funny 3) Nostr 🥹
I believe coding is a 2 and 3 but really bad for 1 for the most part.
1. Physical hobby: Bitcoin mining
2. Creative hobby: Bitcoin coding
3. Intellectual hobby: Bitcoin podcast
👌🏾
Kill 3 birds with one hobby:
Jiu Jitsu
What is it that the whole US internet starts with “you should”? So say what you do and why, how it works so far; or lay down arguments for and maybe against.
I am of the opinion reading is coupled with action. Only reading would probably be detrimental..
I'm deficient in #2. Any good recommendations that are low on time commitment?
Definitely #3
Definitely
good advice
This.
Everyone should learn to cook also. Control what goes in your body.
Wood carving is a good one!
Most people need a motivator for the gym. Wanting to be healthy isn't concrete enough of a goal, so it's helpful to have a purpose behind it.
if you are playing with a child, you are crafting a life 👍
Learning a language
Lazy people wait motivation
Smart people just get up and workout 💪
real wisdom right here
If you have no direction, how will you know where to go?
Just reading this made me tired... Brazilian Jujitsu does all three.
can't even have just one hobby anymore
I should work on this
Humans with no hobbies are NPCs
Crossfit FTW
1. Golf
2. Golf
3. Golf
Oh, that might be. But my interest in arts is pretty low. Maybe that's the point.
Massage therapy
TRPGs
Bitcoin
Does looking at the crypto charge also count? Because, my God!
Coding is also creative hobby.
Any path you take will mean you are on the road. Don’t give up 💪
What are yours
@Jameson Lopp ?
I totally agree. Here are mine:
1) Paddle-boarding and hiking (it used to be football, but I am getting too old for a broken shin bone)
2) Making video lessons, writing books, doing chemistry and physics experiments for fun.
3) Learning Russian. Reading literature and philosophy.
1. Lifting weights. Heavy ones. To throw at statists.
2. Shitposting. An art form, really.
3. Bitcoin. Keeps my mind sharp and my wallet fatter.
Mostly agreed, except for chess. It’s an ancient game based on patterns, and mastery comes down to recognizing and memorizing them. World champions aren’t necessarily smart or anything, they’re just good at learning, recalling and applying these patterns. This game will soon be completely solved.
that bitcoin mining will surely keep you in shape 😂
seems like most of my spare time these days is bitcoin and nostr -related
4. Shitposting
And what about one Pleasure Hobby; meditation, relaxation, smoking cigars, shitposting, getting high, sex, self-pleasure.
Sources of relaxation and pleasure can also be sources of healing and inspiration.
waste of time
I lack the creative one
PLUR
Go for playing an instrument.
First it's like a craft, then it starts to 'blend' with your brain and FINALLY - even the most introvert person in the universe will start to 'improvise'. Creaticity is no magic, learn an instrument for 6 months
would you suggest guitar?
Isn't coding both 2 and 3?
Also can't imagine coding without reading
This is worth mulling over some
Surely it's the other way round? NPCs would be programmed to have between 3-5 generic hobbies, to make them seem authentic and to fuel conversation with other NPCs?
So what do you do?
Bitcoin, of course.
That’s it? What a pity. Bitcoin exists so you can be free to do whatever you want
