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!

I like cooking, I get a lot from it, like the feeling of fulfillment etc

Turning cooking from a chore that needs to happen to something you enjoy is the best. Also makes you spend less eating out and to eat healthier. I live to Eat. Not Eat to live

Here in Poland dining out is more expensive than cooking, many people here have a hard time wrapping their head around the idea that cooking for yourself or your family isn't considered the default in some countries, but the myth it's "healthier" transplanted itself here perfectly through the pop culture, to the point according to my wife i can't make burgers for dinner or wrap a salad in a tortilla because it's unhealthy fast-food, no such problem with pizza though
