Discussion What's your little fidget skill?

I feel like so many ADHD'ers have that random fidget skill they decided to learn one day and ended up loving and fidgeting with it constantly for a month or two. I'd be interested to hear what other people with ADHD have picked up because A: we all love talking about our random skill and B: I'm interested in seeing new stuff to possibly learn! I'll go first.

Zippo's (lighter) and zippo tricks, surprisingly fun to play with and I mess with mine constantly although I don't smoke.

Footbags: super fun to kick around and pretty easy to get a group together to have a fun session

Frisbee's: this is from my friend, but tossing around a frisbee, throwing it too people, and doing tricks.

Note taking. Notebook and pen and I can focus on scribbling crap down the whole down. Also helps me remember it better and is a "professional" looking way for me to fidget in meetings.

I'm really good with solving all kinds of Rubik's cubes (I have a mini keychain one I keep as a fidget) and I love making origami :D

I have honed a pretty good skill at dropping things over the years. No fidget skills. My party trick is being mediocre at everything.
