Hey Beehaw!

I’m a burned out academic leaving the field. I’d like to learn something new as a means of recovery and healing from the trauma of this intense field. So, what should I learn? What do you recommend and where could I start?

That’s it. That’s my ask. Any and all recommendations welcome.

    Knitting or woodcarving.

    Both are cheap & easy to start and you begin with doing things that are useful.

    You may end up in a more artsy trajectory or just keep at creating useful things.

      Thanks! Good suggestions. Woodcarving appeals to my shitty carpentry chops. I never considered it, but will investigate.
