I do get huge satisfaction solving small problems in the house using my hands. Especially as i am more of a theory and equation guy, by trade. I'll focus more on that. Good tip.

I think about my father and his generation a lot. When I grew up (70s) nearly all dads were "handymen". They didn't throw out the blender when it stopped working, they fixed it in their shed / garage.

For example, as I've learned more and more about 3D modelling / printing / CNC millings (I started knowing nothing), the more I utilize these skills around the house. Take the wifes mixer apart because she is complaining it stopped mixing properly and you spot the problem: The gear connecting the motor is worn. 

When its fixed, you get a better dopamine hit than just spending another hour mindless scrolling youtube...

This view of "fixing things" also fits better into a bitcoiners worldview. Minimize waste. Maximize stacking sats. Low-time preference.
