Are you ready for a new hobby?

If you’re like us, your life over the past several months has changed you in a lot of ways. But one experience seems to be universal: BOREDOM.

Everything you can possibly do in your house has been done. You’ve played every board game, cleaned every surface, taken things down from the attic, and probably have more electronic gadgets than you did a few Christmases ago.

But have heart, my friends, as there are solutions to this nightmare. By pushing the boundaries and getting outside of your comfort zone, you may discover new and exciting hobbies to fill your days.

Check out these crafty ideas:

• Woodworking — Not the handy type? There’s never been a better time to change that, with videos online that can show you how to do anything. Get a few basic tools, pull your phone, and build something new.
• Gardening — Think plants are only for your Grandma Myrtle? Dig in the dirt or put some pots around the house and grow herbs to cook with, liven up the house with color or even vegetables to ease your grocery bill.
• Role Play — Once only the domain of nerds, games like Dungeons & Dragons are exploding in popularity. Easy to play online, you can connect with friends around the world and make your own Game of Thrones-style adventures.
• Yogi or Black Belt? — Learn something physical. With yoga or martial arts, you can gain a skill that keeps you in shape and has a path you can advance as you get better.

Trying one of these great hobbies can fill your hours with productive and fun activities. Kiss those dull days goodbye and say hello to a fun, focused 2021.
