My two are:

Making sourdough. I personally always heard like this weird almost mysticism around making it. But I bought a $7 starter from a bakery store, and using just stuff in my kitchen and cheap bread flour I’ve been eating fresh sourdough every day and been super happy with it. Some loafs aren’t super consistent because I don’t have like temperature controlled box or anything. But they’ve all been tasty.

Drawing. I’m by no means an artist, but I always felt like people who were good at drawing were like on a different level. But I buckled down and every day for a month I tried drawing my favorite anime character following an online guide. So just 30 minutes every day. The first one was so bad I almost gave up, but I was in love with the last one and made me realize that like… yeah it really is just practice. Years and years of it to be good at drawing things consistently, quickly, and a variety of things. But I had fun and got something I enjoyed much faster than I expected. So if you want to learn to draw, I would recommend just trying to draw something you really like following a guide and just try it once a day until you are happy with the result.

    Try onshape. I learnt fusion last year though YT and playing around for 3D prints.

    Its fine but a bit of overkill. Onshape has just enough support that a search for “how to do X” takes you to the wiki or official forum, and boom. Answer.

    It also seems more initiative and just gets out of the way, compared to fusion.

    No idea if its just coz I learnt fusion first though.

    I tried solid works but nothing clicled for me with that.
