I am trying to recover from burnout, and thought looking into hobbies outside of work would be a good way to get my energy levels back up and running. Doesnt help that COVID has limited much social interactions and outgoing activities?
Wondering if people on this board have any good recommendations?

I do triathlon, collect baseball memorabilia, collect/drink whiskey. Basically an old man in a 26 yo body
Triathlon is challenging.
Gaming and Porn
I shitpost on WSO
Trolling WSO
Mountain Biking, running, skiing and video games.
Lately, various types of exercise and chess. I am not sure how long the chess one will last, as I hate to lose and I am doing a lot of it.
Good enough to not get scholarsmated yet?
I kid you not I managed to fool’s mate someone in a chess championship. Overall did poorly but that was def the highlight xd. Kid was stunned and embarrassed.
Video games, car meets, canyon drives
Golf, tennis, cars
Salt water aquariums, mountain biking, chess, WC3 Legion TD, and launching small e-commerce brands as a side hustle and then jamming sponsored products through up and coming Tik Tokers.... cheap ad spend and the conversion is extremely high...
WC3 Legion TD - epic nostalgia from playing this at LAN sessions with mates
Sneakers, watches, running
Watching Gordon Ramsay use the f-word every 30 seconds. By that I mean cooking.
haha yes
Tennis and golf have been great hobbies to have during COVID. Getting baked and listening to great music is always fun
yes
Lol dude, what do you like to do?
What did you enjoy doing/ thinking about as a kid, that will point you in the right direction of a hobby to try out
cars, trucks, bikes, gym, knives, guns, rifles, shotguns, and more.
My hobbys' drinkin
scrap metal and drinkin', bud
Nothing quite like rippin all the copper outta my house for some extra money to get drunk and hit the VLTs bud
yeah I like poker and drinking
Highly recommend horseback riding which is a passion of mine that has changed my life. I'm also an avid hunter, hiker, camper, rock climber, basically anything that gets me close to nature. I dabbled in blacksmithing for a while and loved that also, been meaning to get back to it, also highly recommended.
video making and photography.. so many artistic and technical elements to both crafts. you can really get lost in it all
music: instrument playing, singing, recording, mixing. been my passion hobby since I was 6
cooking: experimenting with different flavours and ingredients - kind of gastronomy-esque in a way
cycling: both bicycle and unicycle
lifting weights: because gotta get those gainz
pretty lame but i genuinely do enjoy giving advice to kids on careers. working on a site atm to consolidate some of the advice i've given into one place
traveling: especially off the beaten path or to try some kind of experience (e.g. dune surfing, skiing, authentic sushi etc) obviously on hold due to covid
bit of a weeb as well. anime, especially productions that have authentic / deep stories to tell, is highly underrated
kind of stopped now but would love to get back into reading again
hey princepieman - been reading your comments since TSR days
If you really create a site to collate your advice, let me know - I'd be very interested to read!
also glad to know there are other weebs in finance ahahaha
I'm into a lot of that stuff too. Photography is really interesting, there is an endless amount to learn and appreciate. I've been spending a lot of time on Magnum Photos and going through all of their photographers portfolios and it's incredible stuff. Dove into some Henri Cartier-Bresson too and that was amazing. And obviously there's editing and the world of Lightroom. It really is a phenomenal way to always keep yourself entertained.
Wine
surfing
I used to surf more when I was younger.
Absolutely addicted to golf, set a goal of consistently shooting under 90 once that happens I'm rewarding myself with a baller set of clubs. Besides that sports betting and a little devils lettuce, that trio is basically my entire personality at this point lol.
Give me some locks, really struggling rn
UGA -7 Texas A&M -7, I think tamu is going to win by 3td's at least, and Cincy hasn't played anyone and way over hyped. I also got bama at -17 when it opened and its now at -20, that'll be a bloodbath too. It looks like SEC bias but they all just seem so obvious. Taking rockets/nuggets over tonight too if you see this in time lol
How often do you get to play?
I try to get on every saturday that I can, our group is pretty good about light Saturday work but even then its probably consistently been like once a month since I've started. I try to sneak out for a range session on average once every other week.
Make an only fans
Model UN anyone?
video games, lifting, working with my hands
Trying to drum up deal flow

Working out, reading, learning Polish with Duolingo, whiskey, and watching movies I never got to see when they came out. A vice of mine is I like to argue with people about college football on the internet
Recommend: jerk off, trading/investing, single player games, tinder, reading,
I hunt on many Sunday mornings with my grandfather, first year I have to go out with him. Can only say that I wish I went with him sooner!
I often go Duck/Pheasant hunting. I spend a good chunk of my daily WFH breaks training my lab with bumpers, fetching.
Would love to do more big game, but don't have the time at this stage in my career.
I would love to take a long weekend or even a week to go out on an Elk/Mule Deer stalk in the Midwest at some point in life for sure. I have always wanted to go out bird hunting like that as well, I just need to find some good spots/public land in Upstate NY for it. Really cool that you are training your lab too, I want to train my GF's blue heeler and take it out in the fall if I find some promising land.
Where do you hunt mainly?
I like Chevys.
"Coulda had a Bentley but I rather ride Chevy"
What is this "outside of work" you speak of? I've heard whispers of such a thing but I always just thought it was a myth.
Ahhh ha ha ha... great joke, really new for this site.
I also like to scroll Netflix for a while, never watch anything, then fall asleep watching people lift weights on youtube
