Looking for recommendations for hobbies/activities to keep my hands busy but are hand-friendly! š I currently have a lot of time on my hands (sorry) due to long-term sick leave from my long covid, so I spend a lot of my day at home, tired and in pain, but I need to keep my mind and hands busy. My mind, I can usually handle with entertainment, but I can't keep my hands still for long periods of time. I have some stim toys but they only "work" for short periods of time. So I spend a lot of time gaming, both on my switch and my phone, but lately my fingers and wrists are really sore. I'm trying not to overdo it and make it worse, so playing for shorter amounts of time, and stretching more... but I need to keep busy so that I don't wallow in despair. So I'm looking for recommendations! I'm pretty "artsy", but my ADHD means I will pick up then put down hobbies in a matter of weeks or days, and some of them are definitely not hand friendly like cross-stitching. I'm forcing myself to do more origami rn but it's not itching the scratch my brain and hands need....
