Being in lockdown is something nearly every person on the planet experienced in the last year at least once, and it sparked some pretty interesting hobbies and activities. With more time to either stare at the walls of our homes or devote our time to something a little more entertaining, online shopping and shopping, in general, skyrocketed with the sudden interest in hobbies that could be done at home with little to no travel required. Anything from binge-watching to arts and crafts and even recreational (individual) sports was fair game, which led to many people finding their new favorite thing.

Some people took the time to settle down and relax with their hobbies while others resorted to extremes, taking on complex crafts and new art mediums in order to express what they were feeling while also passing the time. Others focused on themselves and devoted time to their physical mindset, creating their own workout spaces and exploring the world of physical activity in order to achieve a better mindset and feel good in their downtime. No matter which way you chose to get through lockdown or quarantine, it's always interesting to see what others have done to pass the time - and these were the most popular go-tos according to Reviewed.

Binge-Watching TV Or Movies With The Help Of Streaming Services

Of course, TV came in clutch during everyone's at-home lockdown routine. With streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu being so popular prior to the pandemic, it only makes sense that the use of both of these would skyrocket with more people staying at home. And, according to data, it most certainly did.

Picking Up Books And Using E-Readers

Books have once again taken their spot in the limelight as people did grow tired of the glow of the TV after a while, swapping it out for the glow of an e-reader. The use of Kindles, tablets, and even cell phones gained respect for their ability to hold entire libraries, along with actual book sales increasing from those who'd rather have physical pages.

Starting New Workout Regimens

Working out was one perk and a positive change for those in lockdown. With the gym being off-limits, many people turned to the unused rooms and corners of their houses to become makeshift workout spaces. Whether it was an exercise bike or a set of weights and an app or YouTube video, people started moving and grooving while getting their sweat on.

Picking Up A New Craft Or Trying Some Type Of Art

Arts and crafts have always been solid ways to pass the time but in this case, people went out of their way to find specific arts and crafts. Learning something new, such as painting, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, or anything else that takes a bit of patience and skill became an instant hit.

Anything from painting to ripping out the floors was fair game when it came to home DIY projects. People even moved to renovate entire rooms in their houses or revamp their apartment decor in order to jazz up their personal environments.

Embracing Their Inner Baker

It was no secret that baking was a huge part of staying at home this past year. Banana bread was the stuff of dreams and, eventually, the stuff of nightmares as it appeared on every household counter and in freezer stockpiles.

Partaking In Yoga

As part of meditation, yoga seems to be the one activity that just flows (no pun intended) naturally into the art of being still and calm. Focusing on one's self-care sometimes means connecting the body, mind, and soul, and many turned to yoga in order to do just that.

Finding A Green Thumb

During the spring and summer, green thumbs were seemingly endless as all manner of fruit, vegetable, herb, and flower began popping up in backyards and on windowsills. Even something as simple as a succulent garden was a priority for those interested in the hobby.

Becoming A Gamer

Video games drew plenty of people in over the last year, especially with the release of limited edition Switch consoles and the announcement of the PlayStation 5. Many dragged out their retro and old consoles as well in order to take a crack at games from a time when. life was just a little bit simpler.

Checking Out New Podcasts

Podcasts were high on the list of things to do while doing other things such as taking drives, cleaning the house, or working. With so many people having so much to say, it's not surprising that these grew in number on apps such as Spotify, as well.
