do you want a list?! I have adhd and 1.324 different hobbies and projects in different stages of completeness. If I had free time I would get 200 more hobies and start 200 more project without finishing the ones before lol
I have ADHD and my hobby is collecting hobbies. I don’t typically get bored. I would likely need to do some side gig to supplement buying things for new hobbies.
That’s my current situation after retiring a few years ago. I stay busy with personal software projects, running a weekly in-person D&D campaign and playing in others, cooking, 3d design and printing, Arduino/ESP and electronics, woodworking, reading, TV & movies, and random crafting and other stuff that comes up.
Read, learn, create, and explore.
Gardening, fishing, skiing, hunting, making furniture, building boats, long road trips with the family.
Basically typical retirement shit.
Continue to work for extra shit probably. Sure basic needs are met, but I don’t think basic needs count for computer parts, drones, supplies for home improvements. My life would be easier on bills but would still need funds for projects and hobbies.
Short answer: work less.
Long answer: I actually enjoy my job, and have for a long time. If I had won several million long ago I would have kept my job because it (most of the time) was very fulfilling and important, though it has largely wrecked my body.
Now I can’t fly anymore, so while my job is still important and fulfilling, it’s not nearly as exciting, and I am constantly crazy busy, so I’d love to cut my hours about in half, probably. I’d still want to work.
Oh, and I’d build a forge in my backyard. So maybe work the same amount, but some of my time crafting things.
Write, read and analyze literature. Hopefully I’ll be able to do it as a job.
i’d pick a direction and start walking.
I’ll tell you what I’d do, man…
Become a blacksmith. I’d make all sorts of things.
And a welder. And a tool and die man.
I’d work with metal. And at some point I’d make a point to learn glass blowing because it’s cool.
Learn shit.
Go back to the low paying job that I really liked but couldn’t afford.
I would take classes for stuff that actually interests me. And spend more time on hobbies. It’s pretty obvious to me honestly. I don’t understand how people get depressed and bored when they retire. It actually makes no sense to me. It’s super common too. People feel like they “have no purpose” and absolutely crumble in retirement. It blows my mind. I feel like those people are super fucking boring and have no interests.
I wish I could be a perpetual student attending college. And open a business that im passionate about.
