FolderWife Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 um...rearrange furniture? I LOVE to rearrange furniture Go for walks. OOh! Get a pet! Pets are LOTS of fun. Get doggy...they need the most attention. Can you pick up an instrument? Music is a great hobby. Kinda expensive though uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumm....my mom bought a jig saw and made all kinds of wood stuff for YEARS. What about a garden? Now THAT'S a productive hobby. Or a flower bed. What about landscaping? Is there a ditch in your yard that needs dug? Knitting. Make quilts. But odd peices of material, and make hand made quilts...then sell them for a fortune I like to paint things. If I have two lamps that don't match, spray paint them both the same color, so they look like they go together Link to post Share on other sites

westernxer Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Toss your computer into the garbage... that's one way to force yourself into finding something else to do. I thought about tossing mine (both of them), but I do a lot of side jobs that require computer work. My livelihood depends on them. Link to post Share on other sites

blind_otter Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 screw tap dancing. Take belly dance. I did that for like 4 years (I did ballet, jazz and tap for like 12 years before that). Yoga is very soothing. It might be good for your anal retentiveness.. Link to post Share on other sites
