    Hobbies that create a physical result at the end. 3D printing, building electronics / furniture, baking and more. When I have an end result at get to think; I made this.

      I feel the same way. I love things I’ve made myself. Then I look at my son and think “Ugh… I made that.” JK of course. My son is awesome.

      Man, I love to bake when I need to slow down. It’s such a methodological process. It’s good for my brain.

      And when I’m feeling squirrelly? Cooking. A hot pan can take a lot of abuse, and it can be fast and exciting.

      I’m with you though — something physical. Something to appreciate. Another recent example for me is building out WLED projects, which marries tech with the physical world.
