sounds adjacent to crocheting but it works a bit different + personally i prefer it wayyy more!! very easy to get into and you can find lots of designs for yourself or as gifts. i also second puzzles. plus painting or drawing (or paint by number/coloring books if u donāt want to think about it), gardening, baking, making collages

or knitting is pretty fun though you have to stay focused to count the stitches if you want something less intense maybe papier mache or working with clay

I find it easier than knitting for some reason, but if knitting is your bag, then go with that. I just love turning my brain off and crocheting while I watch tv or listen to a podcast!!!! If you have the problem that I do where you need to have something to do w your hands while you sit still (lol) (needing to be productive while relaxing) (aka ADHD) this is great. And bonus you get a new sweater or hat or blanket when youāre done!

didnāt realize how fun getting crafty with your hands can be. go as slow or as fast as you like. repetitive, meditative, and very calming!

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and itās actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic youāre passionate about

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining peopleās attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends -
fake words that people now use IRL (āunaliveā), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, āalpha maleā podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche thingsā¦ the list goes on
