So im looking for things i can make or do that dont invole a compute ror my phone, i feel like i need to stop staring at a screen as much. i dont have money either and ive been wanting to go to craft fairs but im not sure what to make or how to not look at a screen as much.

also i have depression so i lack motivation to do anyhting, but i want to be motivated im just not sure where to start also i tend to repeat questions because in a werid way, that helps me learn, but it seems to annoy others.

I recently got into making foam inserts for my board game collection. Startup cost is low, just need a flat surface to work on and some patience. After measuring, cutting and gluing for a few hours, waiting for a few more for things to dry, then finally being able to assemble everything so it all fits "just right" is incredibly satisfying!
