What do you guys do for hobbies and entertainment

Discussion in 'Self Improvement' started by Deleted Account, Aug 9, 2020.

  1. Hello,

    Due to the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, I’m finding it hard to distract myself. I read the news almost everyday, which only makes me upset. Thanks to the virus, I spend most of my time indoors, which makes it more likely to PMO. I listen to music, read, play video games, TV shows, movies, and YouTube. This lifestyle isn’t terrible but it just burns a lot of time.

    My question is: What do you guys do for productivity?

    I already clean and exercise.

    Thank you for reading.

    You could start messing around with an instrument... I bought this guitar tabs app for a year, if you keep messing around with the thing on a daily basis, and try to learn songs you really love, you can really get lost for an hour or two, even just starting out... a shite guitar or keyboard is all u need to start monkeyin around, and you can get either for under a hundred bucks at pawn shops or amazon
     
  4. I plan on doing that. I’m learning piano keys from my phone. It’s a app called Piano Planet. Never thought about pawn shops for instruments, good idea.
     
  5. I take walks but I don’t know how often I do them. So, I’ll probably do more.

    I workout in my basement, play video games with friends, I lurk around here a lot, watch some Walking Dead, surfing on YouTube.

    I'm going back to school early September, can't wait, its getting boring these days and I want a real career.

  9. Productivity? I study, exercise, drive and do chores (I'm 17). I recently got my first job, but I haven't been rostered yet. For fun, I watch youtube, talk to friends online, hang out with friends sometimes (we really don't give a shit about the virus), study random shit, watch movies, play video games (Though I'm super fucking bored of video games now and I'm certainly gonna quit soon).

    Yeah I fucking hate this bullshit pandemic. At this point, I'd rather of just gotten the virus and been sick for 2 weeks and develop an immunity than having to abide by these stupid quarantine regulations. More people are killing themselves over the virus than the virus actually killing people. Maybe only the people who are vulnerable and give a shit (like the elderly) should quarantine themselves, and the young strong people should all get sick, develop an immunity thus creating a herd immunity for the vulnerable. I didn't get much sleep last night, so please don't bully me if I said any stupid shit lol

  10. Depending on the martial art, you could still practice it at home. If it's like BJJ or wrestling, then I guess you can't. If it's like boxing, muay thai or karate you could shadow box or buy a punching bag/dummy.

  11. I usually read, study, get out from my place for a walk in my neighborhood and visit my church at least one time a day. This is helping me getting focused in my life and forget the PMO.

  12. I've been playing guitar for many years. And I sing. So I do that.

    It's been a real b-tch finding workout equipment but luckily I have a decent collection of resistance bands (100 lb, 90 lb, and some easier ones) and those get the job done just fine. I also have pushup bars which are good to get your hands off the floor. They make pushups almost like reverse bench pressing, although easier, but way better than nothing.

    I finally located some spinlock dumbbells but finding the iron plates is impossible right now so I'll have to wait.

    I also read a lot, take walks, hang out on pub patios once a week with friends, and get shot down by strange women in the streets quite a bit lol

    Big time music hater here.....

    Pandamic is going on. Helpless People voice is not reaching to anyone . In such situations, music is just more and more noise...
     
  14. "Music hater". I've never seen those two words put together in my entire life. Enjoy your life of silence.
     
  15. What do you guys do for hobbies and entertainment

    My hobbies
    • I play a Cordoba 40R classical guitar
    • I perform magic / slight of hand with playing cards
    • I read tarot cards
    • I play chess
    This is enough to keep my eyes off porn and my hands busy

  16. Walking, running and hiking. And try to make it a point to be around people so the temptation to beat off is pretty much nonexistent. I just leave my apartment and stay away if I get all up in my head.

    I also work outside, with my hands. It’s hard to do something stupid on someone else’s property. :)
