I want to learn something new

[IronWing]

I'd look at hand skills like wood, metal, glass work.

As others have stated, woodworking requires a lot of tools.

For blacksmithing all you need is a forge, a pair of tongs, a hammer, something to bang against, and something to bang. A basic, serviceable gas forge can be had for under $500. Hammers and tongs are cheap. An improvised anvil and be made from a steel plate (much like one might see cast off to the side of a railroad track) and a landscaping tie.

Glass work requires a bit pricier tools but there is a lot of used equipment out there.

I'm don't sleep much, I wake up on my own after right around 6 hours of sleep.

I use the time I have to wisely. I've realized that if I actually just sit down and do what I'm supposed to do it takes 30 minutes instead of 4 hours, which is 3.5 hours I can use to do something else that I actually want to do.

So far I've:
gotten into good shape
learned to tune engine pcms (and work on cars in general)
gotten scuba certifications
started a business, sold a few IP assets, and increased my families business revenue 2-3x
completed two years of college with an acceptable gpa
and various random other things...

I don't have a ton of money, but I make the best of what I've gotten and I figure out ways to turn that money into more.

It really is amazing what you can do when you figure out how to manage time properly (although I still have a bad cramming habit for final exams).

It's a bit tough to do any of those due to my location (I live in a loft in downtown dallas). I can do them at my parents house but I'd prefer not to drive back and forth.
