I’m a bit of a jack of all trades. When I work on a project I use anything from woodworking and sewing to chemistry and physics to human physiology and psychology. I also like reading up then chatting about random science and history and art stuff. I like working with computers occasionally, and I’ll just randomly throw some basic geometry or algebra into a project, but I was also an art student so I’m not half bad at making things visually appealing either.

I have a job where I often get a chance to use my various areas of semi-expertise when I pick up a side project, but that’s led me into getting waaay overinvolved in my work and neglecting my outside relationships. What hobbies or other non-professional things could I get involved in that would give me that same opportunity to flex my creativity when solving a problem?

    Remodeling contractor/designer. Discussing ideas and plans with homeowners is a psychological trip and you’ll have to use math to show them visually why they’re wrong. You also mentioned non professional, but this could also be a hobby where you only take on a few projects a year and get more personal with your clients.

      maybe. idk if I’m polished enough in those areas to provide the results people would exist, but maybe some light handyman stuff? It would certainly make me a lot more friends.
