I recommend gardening.

It's really satisfying to see stuff grow, to learn how to tend to plants, how they compete and cooperate.

It helps me to preserve some sanity.

I tried out hydroponics over the pandemic and it was fantastic! I stuck a pepper plant into a cup of water, made sure the nutrients were right, and watched that thing go off, I was an extremely proud plant dad.

It's just amazing that such a small seed contains all the necessary information an initial machinery to rebuild a complete plant that then builds more seeds.

It blows your mind, if you think about it for a moment.
