The solution for this is in the movie itself: take up a new hobby, improve on it as far as you can, make each same-y day worth being lived, add to your routine and your skill set
but that sounds like a lot of work
It doesn't have to be. Every morning do one push up, and one push up only. After 20 days, up it to two push ups.
Even better, do 50 wall pushups. A lot of people can't do 1 proper pushup. Start on the wall, and go until your muscles feel it. Move your feet further from the wall every day. Then move to a set of stairs or a counter. Do sets of 50, and you'll feel your muscles aching, which means they are growing. With steps, you can go down one step every day, or every week. You don't want to hurt yourself. But if you keep doing sets of 50, you'll work out the joints and tendons and supporting structures that keep you from hurting yourself doing one regular push up.
That's where I get stuck.
Tbf Bill Murray's character had infinite iterations. Like, there are probably a bunch where he was just lying in bed, a few where he murdered the entire town, a few where he rolled around in his own feces.
Been doing that for a few years now. Pretty soon all those hobbies just become more of the same background noise. I have nothing more to show for life, but I do have a lot of expensive clutter and knowledge that no one wants me to share.
I think hobbies by itself isn’t the right advice. Practicing chess, photography, or guitar alone in your house isn’t going to feel less monotonous. The next step is to join a chess club, organize a photo walk, find some people to jam on the guitar with. There’s always new things to explore within hobbies when other people are involved.
