Get kids, free time gone.
I can't remember what bored feels like. Backlogs everywhere.
You could start playing Elite Dangerous, that soaks up time!

Yikes, I'm not even 20. Not sure if I should be having kids at this point of my life

Not advisable no. An mmorpg will keep you busy and perhaps make some new friends. Or what's that pube game kids like to play nowadays.

I made the mistake of taking up programming at an early age. Software is never finished, messing around with it into the night only creates more work for the next day. A simple pet project easily turns into months of obsession.

I also had a phase with timelapse photography. Video editing and ofcourse shooting and speeding up material takes up tons of time. The result was worth it, ofcourse nowadays it pales into comparison with 4K videos, obsolete.

Perhaps you enyoy puzzle games. The last one that soaked up my time was Infini factory. The talos principle can keep you busy for a while too. Infini factory had a way of lodging itself in my mind, optimizing, finding better ways, the later stages are actually a lot like programming/debugging.

Anyway if you like writing, probably a good idea to do lots of reading as well. Which reminds me of my pile of books I didn't get to this summer. Another disadvantage of life with kids (or getting older), always being tired. I usually start nodding off after 15 pages. How did I ever make it through the whole Wheel of Time series... Read that :)
