There's not gonna be a proper answer that applies to everyone. For myself, riding BMX flatland, riding unicycles, carving wood, learning survival skills, keeping time..
β¦ keeping time?
Check my username. I've been partly obsessed with keeping accurate track of time since I learned to read an analog clock at age 9.
By age 12, I started learning the exact times of the school bells. By age 15, I learned how to rebuild digital watches, and even replace the quartz crystal with a more accurate one.
By age 17 I was rebuilding mechanical self-winding wristwatches, and also learning to overclock computers.
Edit: For extra clarity, I also now know how to tune the firing order on an ICE engine, no matter how many cylinders. I also know how to time a VCR and tune a guitar.
I'm 42 years old now.
Sounds like you should pursue a career at NIST so your hobby can align with a profession. They're all about keeping track of time to extreme precision with atomic and optical clocks.

Close enough right?
Interesting hobby. Iirc Einstein had his breakthrough trying to sync timepieces.
Also, a 1 meter pendulum swings at a rate of once per second. Handy info to know if all the clocks shut down, like in a survivalist situation or natural disaster.
Ah yes, because in an Apocalypse I'm gonna have a 1 meter pendulum handy.
Anything one meter long swinging on a pivot is a 1 meter pendulum no?
It probably only costs like $10 to get a measured line professionally tattooed on your leg/thigh for reference.
How do you know if you don't have good mental health? I feel fine almost all the time.
In much the same way that almost no one has perfect physical health, almost no one has perfect mental health.
You don't need to be a complete wreck to be able to benefit from paying attention to your mental wellness.
Eating well, regular exercise, mindfulness, forgiveness, good sleep practices are all worth practicing whether you feel unwell or not.
I do those things by default. Only have one body, I like it to be healthy.
Youβd know, trust me
As a very stable genius, I completely agree with this.
League of Legends /s
You joke, but sometimes I've had a crappy day and just wanna play some ARAMs.
Yeah, totally! The best answer so far!
Only (former) League players will understand.
Lol
That is indeed the correct abbreviation
But honestly, quiting such a toxic dumpster fire is really relaxing on your nerves.
Jigsaw puzzles. Start with a couple of hundreds of pieces and then go with the ones of thousands. Also gardening, but you need to have a garden or enough space to have plants inside your home.
