Twisty puzzles, such as the Rubik’s cube. Just to start with the basic Rubik’s cube itself, there are a lot of ways to enjoy it. There are competitions for solving in a variety of different ways, from the standard speed solving, one handed, blindfolded, or fewest moves. Then there are tons of different puzzles that you can get, perhaps even hundreds of different ones. They can be different shapes, have different number of layers to turn, or turn in unusual ways. It can be fun and relaxing to get a new puzzle and figure out a solution by yourself.
One thing I really like about cubing is that it doesn’t really require my full attention at this point, so I can get some practise in while listening to a youtube video where the visuals aren’t that important, or a podcast or something (actually it’s pretty much the only way I can bear to listen to a podcast lol).
