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?

I am strongly considering hanging a shingle as a furniture maker. A few stars have to align first but it'll probably happen in 2025.

Your warning is valid. I was a project manager for a custom building/rapid prototyping shop before the pandemic, I'm used to customers, deadlines and budgets. Compared to what I'm doing now, I think I'd rather be in command of a workshop again.
