I have endless things I -want- to do, and which I consider hobby interests of mine, but do rarely. The world is rich with such a variety of deep and fascinating things! Even simple things you wouldn't give a second look can be an art in themselves. For me, it is difficult to stick with just one activity for longer than a few days. If I could live forever, I would be love to learn about and become skilled in literally everything. I do learn about and research a variety of things regularly, but rarely become an expert. Not to mention it's going to make me stronger and healthier in the long run. I also have a lot of trouble sleeping, so tiring myself out helps. You will never feel worse after a workout, and chances are you will feel better as working out releases endorphins. As for working out - I am still horribly weak and I started out small, but I can feel the positive effects already. Knowing too much is never going to be an issue, and if you have a lot of time to spend, it's a pretty good way to spend it.
Maybe pick up a language? Find out how to do origami? Become highly knowledgeable about the middle ages? The choice is yours. Find a subject you are genuinely interested in, and do it in your own pace. Learning stuff doesn't necessarily have to be a chore. I always feel happy about myself when I cook something nice, and honestly, I don't feel happy about myself often. After you learn the mechanical part of cooking, get into spices and sauces to make chef-tier stuff. Not only it's a good life skill to have, it also never gets boring, because there are so many things you can do and you can eat them, too. If you're not proficient at cooking already, I highly suggest taking it up.
