Does anyone here have a hobby that would be considered productive?

What I mean by that is learning a skill or working in a set skill where you can produce something for yourself or someone else. I think we all need to start acquiring hobbies like this cause the times are getting rougher by the day and having a skill like this when everything hits the fan will come of value. One of the biggest would be gardening and farming. If you can grow food and raise some hens, you are going to be a king or queen when this country goes belly up!

I make baskets for ALL occasions. Anniversaries, birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day, graduation, etc. It started out as a hobby, just making them to give to my family & friends. Then a family member said, "You should sell these". 🤔😁

I currently own a poultry farm as a side hobby. Waking up every morning to have a look at how they are doing gives me joy. Whoever that says that having these hobbies that can help you earn money is ideal is saying the truth. Let's level up with the challenges coming ahead.

As for my family, farming isn't a hobby only but a business source. My father inherited a plantain and coco plantation. It's been our family's business for years and it's making a lot of money for us. As for a hobby, I enjoy giving gym lessons to my online followers and help them keep fit. I might monetize it in the future but it's not yet time.

SWIMMING!

It's one of my favorite hobbies which is very productive for me with respect to keeping fit and working out because it's a very good form of exercise. I swim at least twice in a week.
I love swimming! Full body exercising that's fun & cooling!

    I enjoy posting in communities, and even make some money on the side doing so. I also do know some programming as well, I know some C++ and some Python. I really would like to spend more time learning more about PHP and Javascript, it doesn't hurt to learn multiple languages so you can work on different projects!

    I have started to pick up crocheting. I crocheted a big fluffy blanket about a year ago and just recently got back into officially crocheting. I've made cats and whales and bees. Id love to try to make warm things for others for when the season finally changes 👀. If a countrywide blackout just happens to happen, at least a person can have something to keep them warm in the winter. I know there's much more important stuff than just warmth at that time lol but just saying.

    Im slowly getting into gardening as well!

    For those of you who are into it, how does someone get into music production? I have always wanted to be able to do remixes and put my own spin on them. Something like Glitch City does over on YouTube. She remixes video game soundtracks.
    Ask Dwann B on YouTube or Twitter when he goes live superchat the question he's a musician and foundational black American music historian

    The distribution is easy now because you have Spotify, YouTube, etc.

    You just need to start making the music. Start with a software like FL Studio, Reason, etc.

    When you start getting good you can do post it online.

    It’s more simple than it ever has been.

    Is that software free? If not, are there any free options? I just don't want to invest without knowing if I can do it. Like I want to get a feel for it first. I just like the idea of making my own music even if it is just lofi style beats.

    Tech radar always has lists for free shit.

    I'm into woodworking, I usually start in the winter months when prices are lowest for wood. I also wait until the winter because the sun isn't out, It's very relaxing for me.
