Be more independent! Try to produce your own food, learn how to build and forge tools from iron, try a lot of DIY solutions for problems. Like learn how to solo fix your car, a flat tire etc. Learn how to build a house from concrete and iron or wood! Try agriculture where you manually plant potatoes, corn, grains! Raise animals, like cattle , cows and pigs for their meat, and a horse that you will use to do agriculture, like plowing the earth with it! Build a carriage from wood and iron for the horse in order to be able to transport wood or grains with it! Learn to be happy all by yourself without ever getting bored of your own company
