Looking for Cheap Hobbies to Keep My Mind Off Things

buy a very cheap acoustic guitar and watch some beginning type videos

Minecraft gives instant gratification and really helps with my adhd fixations. I also really enjoy coloring apps. They go everywhere with you and you can’t mess them up.

Video games? You can find cheap pastels and use em on paper super fun. Embroidery is also affordable and u can practice on old clothes

I find a lot of fun inexpensive things to make for my home on YouTube. DIY projects

Reading good book

I use polymer clay to make little tiny sculptures of food and whatever and then make earrings out of them for fun. It’s a super affordable hobby. I’ve also been doing those little diamond-by-number “paintings”….

Painting!! And I’ve been making earrings - it’s super fun :) how do you all stick with your hobbies when you’re feeling fatigued and the mental health stuff gets the best of ya?

Chess is a favorite of mine. Endlessly fascinating and doesn't cost a thing

I love embroidery! It takes time but honestly that’s a good thing. Brings out my creative side without being too challenging!

I LOVE crocheting!! I've found making myself cute little stuffed friends helps, because it's a project and a friend! And if they aren't perfect that's okay because friends come in all different shapes and sizes and looks!

Have you tried painting? It's really meditative and relaxing

If you like to sew, you should try embroidery. It’s super meditative, and you can also make super cute things to wear or give as gifts using it! I like to listen to podcasts and embroider to take my mind off things. Either that or play way too much Stardew Valley

I’ve been sketching and doing marker art

My current distraction is actually typeracer. I've been trying to learn to type faster, because the job I want requires a 90wpm minimum. I can actually put focus into something with little energy and still feel like I'm doing something to help myself in the future. Plus car go zoom on computer screen
