Learn a trade of some sort. Mechanic, HVAC, electrical, plumbing are all skills you will use your whole life. Working on your own home/vehicle can be very rewarding in itself not to mention money saved by turning your own wrenches. It's also a decent way to make a living while you figure out what your really passionate about.
Try learning a musical instrument. Hit a pawn shop and get a cheap guitar or whatever your interested in and learn how to play. It's a great creative outlet, and can lead you to some music you normally wouldn't listen to.
Read a book. Any book. Seriously reading is great for your brain.
Learn a language. Duolinguo kinda sucks but it's free and it gets your brain working.
Being able to look at a problem with my house and just knowing what I am looking at is such piece of mind. Someone at my work’s husband just moved an electrical plug in their basement and ziptied the case to a shelf.
Reading is underrated. Definitely read a book often, front to back. I only made it through two books this year after over 10 years without, and... it was definitely harder than I remembered ;^.^
Paradox Hotel by Rob Hart was a fun sci fi ish romp :u
You won't believe how exasperated I am evry fucking day working for a boss with shit for brains reading comprehension - but I digress
If you enjoy scifi Project Hail Mary was a fun page turner. I couldn't put it down
