Ask SN: What are your favorite high time-preference hobbies/activities? \ stacker news ~bitcoin

hobbies/activities that you aim to give up
hobbies/activities that you don't think you can give up
hobbies/activities that you intentionally don't give up because while it may seem high time preference, it is important to your sanity

hobbies/activities that you aim to give up:
- I sit a lot in chairs when I program in Pleb Lab (even though I don't have chairs at home)
  - we should be moving into a new office soon, where I'll hopefully move in my standing desk
hobbies/activities that you don't think you can give up:
- I chew nicotine gum, like way too much (even though I've never smoked)
hobbies/activities that you intentionally don't give up because while it may seem high time preference, it is important to your sanity
- watching TV rather than reading more
  - If I do it right, I'm often pretty intellectually worn at the end of a day of programming and destress by watching TV
  - It's nice because it's a shareable activity vs reading a book, so can count as time with the SO

Can't recommend a standing desk enough. I also try to walk around during calls to get some steps in

It took a while to give up cigarettes - I think learning about Bitcoin helped me realize that I need to think about my future children more

Amen on the TV, brother. I shamelessly watch TV with the family - it's great bonding time if you choose the right content
