I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. When I work on a project I use anything from woodworking and sewing to chemistry and physics to human physiology and psychology. I also like reading up then chatting about random science and history and art stuff. I like working with computers occasionally, and I'll just randomly throw some basic geometry or algebra into a project, but I was also an art student so I'm not half bad at making things visually appealing either.

I have a job where I often get a chance to use my various areas of semi-expertise when I pick up a side project, but that's led me into getting waaay overinvolved in my work and neglecting my outside relationships. What hobbies or other non-professional things could I get involved in that would give me that same opportunity to flex my creativity when solving a problem?

I volunteer at a ...I don't even know how to call it. Mostly it's a night club that isn't profit-oriented, with very low prices due to the fact that it's entirely run by unpaid volunteers. It's also a cultural center, hosting poetry slams, second hand item sharing events, art exhibitions. And a place to hang out at the camp fire.
During my work there I learnt a lot about event organization, sound and light tech, IT systems administration, woodworking, electrical work, painting, bookkeeping, bartending, house maintenance, cooking, gardening, public speaking, networking ... The list just doesn't end.
