Think of hobbies less as time wasters and more as recalibrators. Tools that tap you in to states absent from your day to day. Flow, learning, creativity, collaboration, competition. Hobbies should feed something deeper than just consumptive urge. Men of great accomplishments often dedicate their lives to seemingly mundane hobbies because they feed this part of the spirit.
the wealthiest people i know all had one thing in common. they seemed genuinely interested in life. they asked questions. they noticed little details. they got excited about books, recipes, travel, music, ideas. curiosity is such an underrated kind of wealth.

One of the strategies I used to become more neurotypical was to pick out a random person on the street and follow them around for the entire day. I would carefully log all of their movements and observations I made.
I still try to do this from time to time, but I get recognized alot which makes it hard.
