Whats something productive I can do now that Im NEET?

>>33904649 (OP)
Apply for a job, you can enjoy the time off though, maybe now’s the time to binge a show or game or something.
Pick up an instrument or read, idk bro you are free for a while take advantage of it while you job hunt

>>33904672
Im applying, but for the meantime I want to do something productive besides playing videogames all day

What kind of productivity are you thinking?
Are you financially set and not a leech on others?
Body status?
Home/community improvement is good.
Volunteering for habitat for humanity or like groups is good for still staying active and learning skills.
Generally just work on improvement of body and mind.

>>33904649 (OP)
Learn a new language anon you have the entire internet to your disposal

>>33904690
Nothing in particular.
It can be learning something (doesnt matter if its useful for my job or not)
It can be self improving
Or anything, Im looking for ideas.
>>33904771
Wich one? I wanted to learn but Ill never use it. I already speak english and spanish.

>>33904649 (OP)
Guitar

>>33904786
>didn't answer question about not leeching off others
Anon...
#1 is making sure are financially independent for life. If you've done that, great.
Exercise. Do anything with activity that gets you in the sun. Walks in the park, anything.
Communication with other people. A job, a local club, volunteering, something.

>>33904811
I live with my parents, Im leeching of them, but im looking for a job.
Im going to the gym but i really need to go outside.
I dont interact with people so that would help too.
>>33904802
Im trying that

>>33904891
Justin or Scotty?

>>33905270
Im following justinguitar videos

Seconding that you should learn a language
Go with sign language, bonus points if you have a vr headset and are down to learn american sign language in vrchat, I could even teach you the basics

>>33904786
Learn chinese anon, the Chinese century is upon us
>>33905479
Sign language is also amazing, you can use experience with it to volunteer

>>33904649 (OP)
>>33904686
Exercise

>>33904649 (OP)
Help your family in everything you can.
Exercise.
Find hobbies to keep you entertained.

>>33904649 (OP)
From behind the curtain and beyond borders, I secretly run a corporation I have no legal attachment to. There is no money trail because I do not take any. It piles up in the bank, all legit and tidy.

>>33904649 (OP)
Isn't the whole point of being a NEET to be unproductive?
If you want to be productive so bad might I suggest making some money while you do it.

>>33905479
Doesnt sound very useful
>>33906202
Thats a good idea, a little bit hard but it might help me with my job one day, Ill consider it. I was thinking about learning french since it wouldnt be too hard because I already speak spanish
>>33906278
I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, but I was considering joining a sport, maybe boxing or a martial art.
>>33906428
There isnt really much to help them with
I want to find hobbies but I dont know what. I read, play videogames and try to learn guitsr but i need something more productive
>>33907000
Im more of an unemployed than a neet, its not because i want to bit because no one hires me.
And how could I make money?

>>33907249
Try learning the chinese radicals :D
French is fun too plus there's a community around it
>Doesnt sound very useful
Anon, you should try applying to a job revolving around sign language, i swear it's a fast track pass to getting a job
>I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, but I was considering joining a sport, maybe boxing or a martial art.
take up boxing 100%
>And how could I make money?
not many ways through the internet but try going to italki and teaching someone english and getting paid for tutoring
or if u feel like gambling go buy bitcoin or vanguard stock

>>33904649 (OP)
true neet ascendancy lies in the knowledge that chasing the mirage of productivity is what keeps one in a state of perpetual malaise.

>>33907249
>i need something more productive

What do you mean by productive?, earning money?, learning a skill to then get a job?, what?

Stop leaching off your parents and get a fucking job if you are worried about being productive.
How fucking daft.

>>33907249
>learning french
Worthless. Fucking worthless. A worthless choice of a language. Pick something that is actually useful.
Stop being a retard, you retard.

>>33904649 (OP)
i'm also a neet and one of the best things i've done to improve myself has been getting into martial arts. i'm doing taekwondo itf and i train by myself every now and then at home, and my overall condition, mental and physical, has been improving nicely. one of the best things of eastern martial arts is their philosophies, which teach you a lot about life, something very useful when you don't know what to do with it.

another thing i do, though before i became a neet, is music, so if you want get into it as well! or any art, what matters is that you enjoy creating. for me it's really fun to play bass and make stuff in a daw

>>33908700
The pic you sent is Kendo though, not Taekwondo
I also used to do Taekwondo, it's very based, even if people say it's not the strongest martial art (I disagree with them anyway).
Unfortunately though, one day I just didn't want to do it anymore. It gets very repetitive and the environment wasn't very inspiring either, mostly older folks or kids. Is that the same for you?
But I may go back, just for the kicks of it. Currently doing the gym though and I'm too autistic to do multiple hobbies at once though.
Not OP btw

>>33904649 (OP)
You could ask a job center if they can find/tailor you a part-time job, 1 or 2 or 3 days a week (but request that they be concurrent days so you won't have work on your mind throughout the week). You might find that the job activates your mind in a good way and makes you feel better.

You may be able to take advantage of numerous free gym trials which you can terminate before you are ever billed. Spending 1-2 hours at the gym 1-3 times a week, with bench presses, seated pulldowns, and a leg press machine, will make you feel great.

Do not get suckered into grinds in online games. Most grindy games are designed so that you can either grind for 40-400 hours to be stronger, or achieve the same instantly with a 40 dollar payment. I say choose the payment or drop the game.

Watch your minerals and vitamins, and your omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acid intake.
The biggest mistake I made as a NEET was to eat foods that were more sugary than I knew, and that combined with a strong vitamin D deficiency, seems to have caused my pancreas some chronic damage. The doctor insists I don't have diabetes, but I can barely eat bread anymore because of all the side-effects it causes me, like extreme drowsiness.

My post is a little shittily and hastily written, but I thank you for the opportunity to advise you. I should have made a thread like yours when I was deep into NEETing in 2016.

Dude's just talking martial arts in general, then said the one he got into.

>>33911103
I guess so

>it thinks I'm trying to rename it
Retarded bullshit.

>>33910744
yeah i know, i could've used a juri picture, but i just really like persona 3 =).

>Is that the same for you?

fortunately, no. my classes are mostly with people my age or around it, there are a few kids and elders but they come every now and then. i'd suggest you to check others dojangs, maybe you were unlucky.

>Currently doing the gym

that's good! though be careful with dumbbells, since in taekwondo you need a lot of flexibility

>>33911826
>i'd suggest you to check others dojangs
Yeah There are some other dojangs around, maybe I'll go back there again, who knows.
Which belt do you have? I only get until the green belt lol
>though be careful with dumbbells, in taekwondo you need a lot of flexibility
Yeah which is why I want to avoid mixing them lmao. I prefer looking jacked over looking though. The former actually lowers the chance of some idiot wanting to attack me, while the latter would just prove those idiots wrong for messig with me. So the gym is like a good prevention and gives other perks too such as swagger in walking and people automatically respect me more lol, dumb primitive apes. I'm still the same person!

>>33911864
>maybe I'll go back there again

if you do then good luck anon!

>Which belt do you have?

i'm still a white belt lol, i started a few months ago, though my instructor said i was ready for the exam, so i hope i do well and get the yellow tip.

>I prefer looking jacked over looking though

wouldn't that be a two edged sword? because if you do get in a fight and you're simply big muscles then all you'd be able to do would be to try to wrestle without knowing how to

>swagger in walking and people automatically respect me more lol, dumb primitive apes

remember humbleness is one of the main principles in eastern martial arts, if you think like that then maybe taekwondo isn't for you. try kickboxing or something like that, besides it'd be compatible with going to the gym since you wouldn't need as much flexibility.

>>33911949
>>I prefer looking jacked over looking though
Over looking SKINNY
Sorry, my dyslexia is acting out.
Yeah, I might not have the same battle prowess as someone who's constantly fighting, but the chances of a fight starting at all gets reduced too. Besides, I still have those moves in my nervous system. It's like riding a bike, you don't just "forget". Except for those stupid dance moves, the forms I mean. Dangun and whatever.
>try kickboxing
Nah, I already tried that and I'm way better in Taekwondo, even if you think I'm not worthy of it. I also don't really think I'd lose my flexibility just for gaining more muscle, unless I take roids or whatever, idk. It's different for each person anyway, idk.

>>33904649 (OP)
>spanish
I would say code but I'd rather assert that we can't get CLANKED soon enough

>>33911960
>Over looking SKINNY

oh, well either way, same thing

>but the chances of a fight starting at all gets reduced too

dunno about this, sounds like you're getting overconfident, which is dangerous

>I still have those moves in my nervous system

sure, but practicing them constantly would let you win a fight more easily and with less chance of injury.

>Except for those stupid dance moves, the forms I mean. Dangun and whatever.

see, this is what i mean. if you don't care about them that's fine, i'm not judging you or whatever, but most eastern (except stuff from thailand and around) feature these tyoe of things, like forms or philosophy. if you don't like them then you won't really enjoy the martial art, since forms get more complex the further the belt.

>even if you think I'm not worthy of it

not at all what i said! i simply suggested you to leave it since you don't sound to be much into its core sthings, forms and philosophy, after all i'm just a white belt who's obsessed with taekwondo (yes, i'm reading the encyclopedia and watching videos every day). maybe tell an instructor about how you feel and maybe he'll be able to give you better advice.

>I also don't really think I'd lose my flexibility just for gaining more muscle

the thing is dumbbells let you gain a lot of muscle, unlike calisthenics or other forms of training, which are more focused on your overall strength, and at the end you'll flexibility will be affected

>>33904649 (OP)
Gaming (either pc or console), gym, cardio. Try eating correctly too. All this is easy when you're unemployed.

>>33912131
>dunno about this, sounds like you're getting overconfident, which is dangerous
But I DO know about this and people are actually paying me more respect now, believe it or not. Stop denying the power of the gym gainz.
>practicing them constantly would let you win a fight more easily and with less chance of injury.
Who knows
> like forms or philosophy. if you don't like them then you won't really enjoy the martial art, since forms get more complex the further the belt.
Dude, you're only a white belt, everything is new and exciting to you now, you'll se what I mean when you're doing the forms for the 300th time. Unless you actually do like doing them forever. And yes, I do like the philosophy, just not the monotonousness, I guess. Idk. I still don't really know why I left but doing the gym is better I feel. For me personally, in my opinion.
>maybe tell an instructor about how you feel and maybe he'll be able to give you better advice.
I've never done that, I just assumed they didn't care about my feelings. Maybe I was right
>at the end you'll flexibility will be affected
I don't only do dumbbells though

Learn a programming language. Not an object oriented programming language tho.

>>33915509
Like Python?

>>33904649 (OP)
Why would you want to do something productive, retard.
