Do you all have any tips on activities to do yourself, instead of consuming content all the time? (feddit.nl)

I'm pretty sick of my content addiction, like watching youtube or netflix all the time. I would rather be spending my time otherwise so figured fun things are the best to start. Do you have tips for fun things to do? Or how I could search for them?

Some I came up with myself:

Learning some magic tricks
Learning some origami
Thrift shopping

Everything is welcome!

Edit: thank you for the huge response!

Fun ways to spend your time:

Walking, running, hiking, cycling, transitting to a nice spot in town you've never been. Fairly cheap, and fun way to get out and forget the rest of your problems for a bit.

Sports and Yoga, cooking and baking, sewing, learning an instrument like guitar, piano/keyboard.

For things that aren't mindless fun but useful long term: Try learning a new language! It's kind of difficult but it's cool when you start to figure out tiny tidbits of other languages.
