Some of your best hobbies will come from being bored enough to try something new.

Boredom used to be the gap that new interests fell into. It is uncomfortable, and it is now very easy to end in three seconds, so the gap closes before anything can grow in it. Almost nobody picks up a strange hobby while entertained. You pick it up when nothing else is happening and something odd looks marginally better than nothing.

Let yourself be bored on purpose for an afternoon with the phone in another room. See what you drift toward when nothing is being served to you. Whatever you reach for twice is worth taking seriously.
