Finally getting into a good rhythm with my writing. Just about to put the finishing touches on a novella, got three short stories started, and two novels are at various points of being finished.
Also, getting caught up on my backlog of books I've been meaning to read, DVDs I've been meaning to watch and found a couple of channels on the tube that specialize on older TV shows (esp. GRIT to catch up on those old 1950s westerns and GET - watching the heck out of Mike Hammer, Magnum P.I., Rockford Files, and Kojak.)
So, yeah, it takes a little bit and some experimenting to figure out what works, but if you don't try to force it, I think it's easy to find something that interests you enough to keep you from being bored.

I actually have become a part time "Picker"....doing it just enough to keep me occupied. I will never become a millionaire doing it, but dang it is fun when you sell something you have purchased, repaired and resold.
I also set time to watch TV too...but mine is watching the Discovery+ channel and all those shows there, along with watching all the YouTube channels that shows all the Abandoned Places.....
