I started doing jiu jitsu after having a long conversation with my teenage students about video games. We all agreed that they are a wonderful way to burn some time - but also fully acknowledged that they only provide the illusion of accomplishment. Simply having fun is absolutely worth it, but so many games now require you to grind beyond the point that it's playfully fun. At the end of a long gaming session what do you actually leave with?

Jiu jitsu is still a game of sorts; however, this game causes me to work out more intensely than I could ever do just by cranking out sit ups at the gym. I can measure my skills development pretty accurately based on what techniques I can pull off on skilled opponents. Abstractly, I can defend myself better (though that's not my purpose) and I prioritized it in my life so I can go roll with friends a few evenings a week.

Look into a physical hobby. It has been an important change for me.
