What do you do for fun

Guys I’m in a slump, I keep having the same fight every time I feel bored and want to go out to do something and I can’t because I don’t know what to do because I don’t even know what kinds of things I can do, like what classification of activity I should pick. And even when I do pick an activity class I’m paralyzed with the decisions regarding how to execute that activity. It’s a 3dimentional puzzle of trying to find what doesn’t make me miserable, is actually available to me, and I understand.

Here is my current list of activity classes, I keep it as an Obsidian Kanban board where each lane is a my opinion. What classifications should I add or if you have any ideas for what specific things I can do I’d really appreciate that too.

I’m based in Brooklyn
