Whittling is carving wood with a simple knife. No power tools, no workshop, no noise. A pocket knife, a piece of soft wood, and a park bench — that's the whole setup. It's meditative, cheap, and your first finished spoon will stop you mid-thought every time you see it.

Notatki ADHD
Slow, rhythmic, tactile. Hands are busy. Done outside with no screens. Sessions end when the piece ends, not a timer.
