Juggling
Someone in work brought in some juggling balls and left them in the kitchen, as they wanted to learn to juggle. This prompted me to spend all my tea brewing time for the past few weeks learning/remember how to juggle. I’ve just about got to a 3-ball cascade with some reliability.
There’s a similar satisfaction to the Rubik’s Cube in this, something physical that requires concentration. The evidential improvement is also satisfying.
Having learnt a basic cascade I’m not sure what the next step is in the complexity scale. Some simple over-the-top / juggling tennis type things by the looks of it. However I suspect to start with just getting better at the basics is sensible. This is inspiring me to buy some balls for home as well, and carry on learning there, as well as the office.
I’m definitely enjoying the physical skills I’ve been pursuing of late. I suspect it’s something that has been lacking for me (and many others) in recent times. I’m not sure how this will develop, but I suspect I’ll be contemplating more of these, and less of the sitting, thinking, computer based activities.
