So im looking for things i can make or do that dont invole a compute ror my phone, i feel like i need to stop staring at a screen as much. i dont have money either and ive been wanting to go to craft fairs but im not sure what to make or how to not look at a screen as much.

also i have depression so i lack motivation to do anyhting, but i want to be motivated im just not sure where to start also i tend to repeat questions because in a werid way, that helps me learn, but it seems to annoy others.

Making terrariums is a lot of fun and very addictive. A little self-sustaining ecosystem.

Is there a good place to learn how to start? I've been finding self-sustaining ecosystems amazing for quite some time and have been meaning to try myself. I don't know where or how to start though..and I've been probably too lazy to put in some actual research.

[–] sloonark@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

There are hundreds of youtube videos or just plain websites that will get you started. Just google how to make a terrarium.

Once I started I found it hard to stop!
