How would I know where to start? Should I take up dancing? Baking? Painting? Horse riding? Ant farming? Blogging?

You say that like trying all of those would be a bad thing or something!

I was saying there are far too many things I don't do for the suggestion 'do something new' to be effective without a non-random way of choosing what to try next.

Also, I'm sure there are some experiences or combinations of experiences I don't have that would turn out to be bad. The examples I gave weren't intended to evoke that idea, though.
