Fun repetitive activities

Post Reply New Topic

I love creating fractal patterns (Ex. the Hilbert Curve)

I love solving rubics cubes (and other similar puzzles ex megaminx)

Solving logic grid puzzles


I find the above incredibly fun and exciting. I don't know if these things would appear to be incredibly exciting to most but working on them fills me with energy and I just thoroughly enjoy doing these activities. Example.. with fractals.. I love the idea of making them more and more complex and absolutely love to see the shape start out somewhat simple and progress into something incredibly complex! And with the puzzles despite have solved the same type of puzzle hundreds of times before I love to see the progress and then the finished puzzle!!

What kind of activities do you love to do repeatedly?

(This post was inspired by learning and working on a new fractal pattern)

I was the Forrest Gump of Wii Tennis until I actually got tennis elbow! True story!

When I used to work at Sam's Club as a night merch I would see how many pallets I could work/kill. One night I worked 130 pallets with 70 kills, which volumetrically was the entire beverage section (including "pods") and 1/2 of grocery. This was in 7 hours with no assistance and an electric stand-up sideshift forklift. I'd have liked to have seen traditional Walmart employees try that...

Mine are substantially less cerebral than yours ha, but silly putty has kept my subconscious entertained for hours (while consciously doing something else, like watching tv). Eh, hardly an activity but clicking magnets together and pulling them apart is near the top of the list. Ah, and of course, practicing guitar scales...that's probably the one I do most often and also get the most joy from; just set the metronome at 170 and pump them out forever.

handweaving...very repetitive in a relaxing way that gets something pretty accomplished.

Practicing piano.

I hollow out giant rectangular caves in minecraft then make the walls and floor symmetrical tried it online but the server got reset just as i was settling on what to put inside it.

I play the pc version. I find it difficult to find a game mode I enjoy solo though. I like survival because I have to work and collect and organize all of my things and like the feeling of building wealth but I often die with a significant portion of my inventory in some deep lava filled cave and this makes me very upset. I like creative too but the lack of a challenge makes it boring quickly and I know that if I am going to cheat anyway I could just use a mod to make my caves or buildings. I think maybe I will try survival on an easier difficulty.

I used to play with Lego as a kid for the same reasons, it drove me insane that I'd make a huge perfectly symmetrical thing and then have to make the colours non-symmetrical.

I like minecraft too.. I can go on and on and on with that game.. .. and I've built fractal patterns underground too!

Ah, Minecraft. How I love thee.

My Slinky is so...darn...addictive. I can't stop playing with it.
