I’d work on cars. And my house. It feels like I’m fighting entropy, I fix one thing and find 2 more problems in the process. But I know some of that is just the previous home owner doing a bunch of diy.
Learn to wood work and build furniture. I have a deep, deep loathing for flat pack furniture.
Garden. I’d love to have a proper garden.
Honestly. I’d just like to be rid of my anxiety over finances.
I’d spend more time playing guitar and chess and spend more time with my son.
Would finally make my dream game.
When the weather is good, be outside as much as possible. Do more long-distance, or even multi-day treks. Dick around in the woods more (survival skills for fun, learn more about identifying local plants and fungi, etc). Bring a book and some basic snacks, and hang out in public park space more often (we’ve got some beautiful spaces here). Basically just a lot more exploration, primarily on foot, bike, or skateboard depending on distance and energy level.
When the weather is crap, spend more time keeping my place in order and looking nice. Listen to music, read books, maybe try and get more deliberate about a writing habit. Pick a public indoor space of some kind and become a regular. Maybe volunteer.
Spend more time working on good habits to keep the energy level up for the above long term.
I’d make things like drones or robots or something.
Work out, do DIY at home, volunteer at my local cat shelter and dedicate more time to making music, gaming and general computer fiddlin’. If it was literally just basic needs with no cash maybe host some services for people on a small scale or teach about self hosting for money to afford luxuries.
Exercise, drink wine, read more, and take tons of road trips.
Volunteer at a rescue centre to help the dogs and other animals
Travel, learn culture science theologie languages and so much more, teach
Make and restore furniture. Build shit. Garden. Read. Organize and fill out my media library. Learn programming and try to fix some of the problems I’m dealing with on Linux. Probably socialize more because I wouldn’t be tired of dealing with people and stressed out from work all the time.
Write sci fi novels and take care of stray cats
Game (and probably stream myself doing so) a lot, get more exercise, volunteer a bit, probably contribute to open source projects a lot more
I would build affordable housing.
I’d love to go back to school, not for better grades, but purely for learning. There are some interesting af fields out there!
If I were rich Id open a “Nerd-pub” board games, tabletop games, arcade machines, pool tables, pinball machines…
If I were just “doing ok” id probably start a youtube channel buying really cheap cars of FB marketplace and just reviewing how much of a piece of shit I’ve bought this month.
