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!

There has been such a giant leap in coverage about 10 years ago. I've contributed a lot for the area I've lived in around 2007, when I became aware of OSM. And there was still a lot missing back then. But I moved just a few years after and ever since any area I lived in or have been vacationing at had already been exhaustively mapped. So now I am adding metadata.

Its all that meta data that makes OSM so great, most people think google maps is the best solution only because the can buy massive datasets but OSM is the perfect example of people power and what can be achieved by passionate people.

I also found OSM around 10 years ago. I added my entire village from barely existing on the map to all landuse and small roads, bike paths, things. And this was before there was good enough aerial images, so I had to use GPS and walk/bike all the roads, walk around all the fields and areas.
It was great!
Then came satellite pics and I could add buildings too. But I miss that outdoorsy feeling. I keep my eyes on new buildings and developments in the city I live in now. Do you know of any best practices for local surveying to ensure up to date map quality?
