Guys I’m in a slump, I keep having the same fight every time I feel bored and want to go out to do something and I can’t because I don’t know what to do because I don’t even know what kinds of things I can do, like what classification of activity I should pick. And even when I do pick an activity class I’m paralyzed with the decisions regarding how to execute that activity. It’s a 3dimentional puzzle of trying to find what doesn’t make me miserable, is actually available to me, and I understand.

Here is my current list of activity classes, I keep it as an Obsidian Kanban board where each lane is a my opinion. What classifications should I add or if you have any ideas for what specific things I can do I’d really appreciate that too.

I’m based in Brooklyn

    Just try things. I mean a lot of things.

    You will discover that you love doing things you would never expect to love. You will also find that things that are fun on paper are pretty boring to you when you do it.
