Salam everyone, looking for some chill halal activities online that aren't Islam-focused to help me unwind.

As-Salamu Alaykum, I'm a teen at home with quite a bit of free time since my schoolwork is all done and I don't have many chores. After each salah, I make sure to dedicate time to Quran and other acts of worship, Alhamdulillah. But honestly, I'm feeling a bit burnt out from constant learning and need a halal break that's unrelated to Islam to keep myself consistent. I can't go out much due to family reasons, and I don't have a phone or easy contact with friends, so I'm stuck indoors with just electronics for fun, but I can't spend on things like sports or materials. I'm trying to find alternatives to reading because I tend to overdo it and get distracted. Here’s what I'm avoiding to keep things halal and comfortable: music, instruments, drawings of people or characters (like anime or comics), swearing, romance, games like Minecraft or Fortnite (they just don't sit right with me), activities that need buying stuff, makeup, cooking or baking (I always mess those up), and even Islamic stories right now since I'm seeking a break. I know my list is pretty specific, but I'm really hoping for some suggestions that respect these limits. JazakAllah Khair in advance for any ideas that can help me relax without straying from what's halal!

Try listening to nature sounds or nasheeds without instruments! There are long YouTube videos of rain or ocean sounds. Helps me focus and de-stress without any music.

Digital gardening? Like planning gardens or looking at plant care videos. It's peaceful and doesn’t involve any of the things on your list. I do this all the time!

Honestly, I feel you. I started learning simple origami from online tutorials using scrap paper. It’s creative, keeps your hands busy, and you don't need to buy anything special! Super relaxing.

Maybe try puzzle video games? Things like sudoku apps or non-violent puzzle games are super chill and don’t involve any of the stuff you mentioned. I play them to unwind after studying.
