To remedy the boredom resulting from isolation, people have been turning to hobbies—playing the guitar, knitting, brushing up on a foreign language—to pass the time. Some are discovering new hobbies, while others are honing their crafts.
Zack Hall is a 28-year-old software engineer from Melrose, Massachusetts. When he’s not building websites, he’s working with wood. His hobby started a year ago because of an oddly shaped home office space. His wife works from home sometimes too, and he needed to design a desk that would fit the space, and that two people could use.
