I’ve mentioned that I like to just sit back in my easy chair, put headphones on and just listen to music without doing anything else. People say this is weird and say they would fall asleep or go crazy from not doing anything. Am I weird for doing this?

    I need something to engage my hands and eyes. If I want to just sit and listen to music, or an audiobook, or podcast I usually play Tetris. It’s a really low engagement task that keeps me from zoning out. Starting to get tired it though so I’m open to recommendations for similar games.

      I recently got an adult paint by numbers from a clearance rack at a hobby store. I’ve put WAY more time into it than I expected. I’m really loving having it to do while doing other more mentally engaging things.
