What are some hobbies that don't require creativity or being artistic?

Or what hobbies do you have?

Re: Hobbies

[(Anonymous)]

For things that don't require creativity, I'd say anything based on physical activity that isn't dance, like hiking or canoeing or playing team sports (provided the sport doesn't require a not of tactical creativity on your part). Camping, birding, identifying trees or wildflowers, volunteering somewhere (e.g. dog-walker at an animal shelter), working out, raising a pet.

Also, I think things like coloring an adult coloring book or cooking following a recipe involve creativity but do not require a lot of creativity or artistic talent.

I don't consider reading, tv, or movies to be hobbies (unless you are a serious cinophile and not just a person who goes to movies sometimes, or you study a particular author or genre and not just read books) but they are still pastimes that can be enjoyed without creative skil.

My hobbies are cooking and baking, sewing and crochet (although I haven't done either in a while), organizing things in my new house, going to the gym, and fandom (although not so much recently).

can't beat reading, cooking, and gardening for low-art, low-creativity activities. seconding above anon on birding, hiking, astronomy, etc.

I'm super creative though so in addition to cooking, gardening, stargazing, and colleting, I also cosplay, make my own clothes, knit, write, and sometimes draw. I have too many hobbies actually.

I love cross stitch. You just follow a pattern.

Hiking. Geocaching. Just about any sport, really. Doing puzzles.

If working out is a turn off, you could just do stretches and work on your flexibility. It's free, it's good for you, you can do it while listening to music or watching tv, and your progress will be measurable over time.

I have this karaoke app on my phone and it's honestly pretty easy to spend an hour or two doing karaoke. I'm not a great singer, but I've definitely gotten better since using this app. And what I like is that once you get a recording you're reasonably happy with, you can save it. (The app I have is called Smule, but I'm sure there are others.) I guess you might consider karaoke artistic. I generally don't though.

Puzzles. The 1000-piece, put together a picture kind.

Also, number puzzles like sudoku, and/or crosswords. They're cheap, and again, you can measure your progress as you get better and are able to do more advanced puzzles.

Also, you could try drawing from sight. Like, pick an image from a magazine or something, and try to replicate it as well as you can. I guess that's a tiny bit artistic, but not very.

Bicycling, I guess. I like to get on my bike and go for a ride to clear my head. Baking can be creative, but I tend to just follow the recipe to make simple cookies and breads. I like to do these things in addition to writing and scrapbooking, and I’m learning how to do embroidery.

To add to the puzzles suggestion: If you have any music you've been meaning to check out for years, trying out new music while doing a puzzle is a great way of multi-tasking.

If I ever get around to actually listening to Radiohead, I tell you, it will be while doing a 1000 piece puzzle. :)

Mostly I read and play video games. (And listen to music of course.) The only hobby I have that requires creativity is writing, and I usually write fanfic which is different from writing originals. (I'm not putting down fanfic! But it's very different for me.)

Genealogy.

Late, but... performing music on an amateur level doesn't actually require a lot of creativity or artistic skill, just practice. In a choir, you'll be given set parts to sing; in band, you'll follow the sheet music and need only modify your playing outside of that if the director specifically asks you to change something. In both of these, it's very unlikely that you'll be the only person performing the specific part.
