Are they a thief of focus or simply very efficient entertainment? (lemmy.world)

I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

Well sure. But there are 4 main issues.

  1. Meditation itself is free.
  2. I do not want to spend any money on fishing equipment.
  3. Where I live you need a fishing permit each day you want to actually fish.
  4. I dont like eating fish.

Well, I'm not here really trying to sell ya on fishing, I just really enjoy talking about my own hobbies, honestly!

And, of course, different strokes for different folks. Sucks you need a daily license to fish where you are, though. I pay like $10 once a year for a license and money goes to maintaining the ecology of the state and programs to revitalize local fish populations through reintroduction of farmed fish to the wild. We're encouraged to catch certain kinds of fish and report tagged fishes to the state so they can better understand the effectiveness of their programs and we get a little prize for the trouble.

I think a lot of the similar joys of nature of fishing can be achieved through hiking, if that's more your speed, and that needs far less equipment. Sure you can buy fancy gear, but all you really need is a pair of shoes and probably a water bottle.

Don't worry I have mountaineering gear. I just struggle to find time to actually go and do it.
