    Cooking is great if you want to be a house husband potato. Drawing is great if you are interested in manga or its more mature cousin. Writing is great if you have a good imagination. Learning new languages is great if you don't have enough patience to wait until books get translated. Or you can take up as sleeping as a hobby and become a couch potato.

    Cooking's the best. Maybe competition driving and exploitative marketing, too. How about Learning conversational skills? Very important, those are.

    Someone said programming - I agree. Super useful hobby that you can start learning online with lots of resources. I'd include some math and algorithms into the mix. You can look here for the topics: https://mathematics.stanford.edu/academics/introductory-math-courses and then search them up online. I think Khan Academy offers nice courses on some of these topics. You can also pirate some math books if you want. So, that's if you're interested in expanding your intellectual skills.

    If you just need something to fill up the time - try knitting. Also very useful and it's supposedly calming. It needs some materials, but it's not nearly as expensive a hobby as woodworking for example. There's drawing - plenty of free tips on youtube and reference photos all over the internet. But honestly, if you're set on learning a new language, that should be taking up all your free time lol. If you want to be fluent at least.

    Great recommendations + super appreciative of the provided resource links :bloblove: May consider to take up programming. I've been interested in learning HTML since I've already learned Python and VBA before

    Drawing is relatively easy to self-learnt, just need practice (starts from copying/tracing sketches/artwork you like, then you’ll start to naturally understand composition, body ratio, etc).

    If you want to do online courses (could be programming to many other things) there are a few places that offer free courses (e.g. coursera).

    Cross-stitching is easy to learn, is mundane and repetitive which may be relaxing. If you want more challenging craftsy stuffs try knitting.

    Try musical instrument. Guitar is cheap to learn with many guides online (youtube has lots).

    Since you are already baking... why not take up cooking? I heard fried potatoes r delicious, you can make us some O(≧∇≦)O

    I'm actually quite interested in drawing classes, specifically digital character art. I've even been seeing online courses like udemy and such being advertised on my feed.

    In your opinion, is it worth it to subscribe to these online video courses in the field of learning art??
