What are some skills or hobbies that you can put considerable time in and enjoy (not those kinds which needs lots of energy but the output or progress comes slowly )

Attempting to mix and edit my own music is challenging with meager means. However, it can fill the better part of a weekend in the blink of an eye for me.

Drawing: especially drawing comics. I’ve just finished a book and now I’m making a sequel. Watching the drawing and stories improve is really a joy.

Doing research on whatever comes to my mind: I come up with a question, then search the web for the answer. Usually I go to many sites and combine the information before coming to a conclusion. It really helps build my knowledge.

Brain exercise: or more percisely, immaginary world building. It may sound silly but I enjoy it. It helps improve my imagination.
