I took up running and am learning another language.

ETA: I forgot, I’ve also been doing a little gardening.

Working out, gardening and landscaping, remote volunteer opportunities, crafts, online schools/classes, online mentoring programs, community service...

Do what makes YOU happy, not what is high value.

Singing...give you a lot of confidence, try it

I'm not sure if it's HV or not, but I'm super into houseplants. I collect plants. I research all about them and how to take care of each of them best and I treat them like my babies! One of the only other subs I like is r/houseplants. Everyone there is so supportive and nice!

Education. I'm a huge fan of education, and there's an endless number of online certifications certificates, classes, degrees, audiobooks... Not only will these expand your knowledge, you can easily find programs that will help boost your career. Why not take the time to boost your resume?

Dance; it is so much easier to do alone, it fun, and it makes your body feel (and look) great!

Skateboarding!

Can’t beat the rush. The adrenaline. The exercise. The sunshine. The exercise. The sweat. The honing of a skill.

Learning a language and/or an instrument, yoga, cooking/baking, coding (every day it becomes a more and more valuable skill to have), and just general learning of new topics. Like for example, every few months I pick a new topic to learn about and it becomes the theme of my everyday life for a while. Right now, I'm doing Russian history during the revolutionary period, so I read books and watch movies written in or about that era, seek out diaries of people alive during it, read lots of scholarly articles about it, hang out in forums that discuss it, and basically just absorb as much data as possible from a variety of sources until I feel like I've had my fill and move on to the next topic. My last topic was England during the Regency period, and the next will probably be the history of the Christian church during the first schism period.

running, gardening, painting, sports (playing soccer, basketball, catch, etc.), reading books, photography, journaling, etc.

Classical hobbies such as horticulture, Latin, modern languages, charity work, dressage, a classical instrument or singing.

I just bought a record player and now have the very expensive hobby of collecting vinyl. I’m loving the hunt for bargains and spending hours in record stores in my own little world.

I enjoy baking, cooking, and working-out. I do at least one of those everyday, usually all three.

You want stuff to do away from people? If you live near a clean lake paddle boarding is amazing. Highly recommend.

I think most hobbies are good to have and make you more "valuable". I'm not sure if I can think of a particular hobby that would make you more HV. I really believe anything that makes you happier and more fulfilled will add value to your life.

For me, I just started on a small balcony garden, I collect and read vintage books, I've been learning French for a few years, and I've had a passion for ballet since I was seven. There are other things I do in my free time, but these are my major focuses right now.

My favorite high value hobbies are playing instruments, learning new languages, and crafting of some sort. For example, I plan to remodel furniture pieces when I get my own place.

Genealogy research

Right now, thanks to the inspiring ladies here, I am on Duolingo learning Spanish, taking online courses, re-reading some of the books I have around here, and dancing. I also have a molecular cuisine kit I bought a while back and never used, so I would like to play around with that. Next up is yard work and getting back into yoga/weightlifting.

I love cross stitch and knitting/crochet. Things that are creative and repetitive are very soothing for me.

I’ve had a lot of fun following along on art tutorials on YouTube. They are super simple to follow, particularly the watercolor ones. Very relaxing.
