I have taken up woodworking last year(so I am a super beginner), and in summary it nourishes my mind and soul in ways that tech world keeps failing to. Instead of getting instant gratification of buying things on Amazon, I spend weeks to build one item, and that item brings me unparalleled satisfaction, trains my patience, concentration, and unlike coding which does check some of above boxes it pulls me away from my computer which is responsible for half a dozen of my bad habits. In a way it takes me back to era before content overload, consumerism, and capitalism.I know that this very vague but there is a lot that is coursing through my head as I’m reading your question. I am happy to answer any more specific questions. I also took up couple (black)smithing projects and they are very satisfying as well, just harder to start with.
