New hobby, new sport, new language, new dance, etc.

I just need some advice on how to fill my spare time with something productive,

Pick shit up put it down.

Seriously. Measurable progress, a huge time sink, good results, adrenaline rush on that last rep- all around wonderful hobby

If you've got the room for it, carpentry is relatively inexpensive, and after a few mistakes you can use for firewood (and smash up for catharsis), you'll have some beautiful and useful pieces of furniture. Of course, living in London probably means that space is at a premium.

If you're near Tooting Bec, you can go swimming regularly. It's cold as shit, but damn if it doesn't feel invigorating.

Otherwise, just look around - martial arts, sports clubs, art, there's all sorts of hobbies you can take to fill time. You could also start doing something like casual trading of bitcoins - nothing like getting a head-start on the rest of the country and demonstrating your tech-savviness to boot!

You can always hit the gym. Losing weight is a good step in the right direction, but are you at your ideal body type?

Or you can pick up new things that are beneficial to your palette and image. For example, become a volunteer firefighter. Or pick up cool hobbies like ipsc or similar (pistol shooting competition), or join the reserves. I can tell you from personal experience that these are great conversation starters, and women dig this on a deep level. And yes, I do all these and more.

Learn to program C++, or any language, it teaches you to think objectively and makes you much smarter. Steve jobs on programming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z1gfgM7kzo

These people are all wrong.

You're already doing fitness.
Carpentry is cool...but when you really need it you can hire somebody.
A language is alright, although you already speak the lingua franca of the world. I don't see any real utility here.
Programming is basically a trade like carpentry, but is probably less intrinsically rewarding. Don't bother unless you plan to make money in tech.

No, here's what you want to do: music.

Men love music. Women love music. You love listening to music. I'm listening to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as I type this. Imagine if you could play music.

I would REALLY recommend learning carpentry or metal-works or engines/cars mechanics.
