Do you all have any tips on activities to do yourself, instead of consuming content all the time? (feddit.nl)

I'm pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

Learning some magic tricks
Learning some origami
Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

Making things, learning things.

E.g.:

painting
clay/ceramics
learn a language
learn the history of a region
visit a museum
grow vegetables
make pickles
learn a weapon

learn the history of a region

I'm currently reading about the Mississippi River and it sparked a obsession in me. Like, knowing the history of how the natives used the river, the used of it during colonial times, how we use it today. The states that border it. The people that live near it. Water, pollution, fish.

I've been going a mile deep for weeks now in understanding it and it's so fulfilling.

Yes! It's really satisfying. Something like a river would be extra cool, thanks for the idea!
