I have been journaling since 2018. I keep down everything from the fun and special moments to the seemingly trivial details of each day. They always read fun when I look back.
I started playing The New Your Times Games by chance in 2021 and it became my daily ritual soon after. My recommended ones are as follows:
Wordle (Highly recommended! Easy to play and a fun, quick way to learn 5-letter words)
Spelling Bee (Brainstorming brings so much fun!)
Mini Crosswords (Enjoyable if within my fields. Can be quite challenging and time consuming if not...)
Connections (Fun to play at first; became challenging at some point; still play occasionally)
Strands (Very fun and satisfying when clues align; can be frustrating if clueless. It's always a hit or miss experience)
