    I tell people that I can teach anyone to juggle in 20 minutes. It’s fun to get it going when you’re otherwise just standing around, and practicing the fancier patterns is good for keeping yourself occupied.

    https://libraryofjuggling.com/ There’s some really neat info there.

    Juggling is so much fun, if you never tried it you should start immediately. Bring a little bit of patience and you can master 3 balls quite fast. Plus point: it does really good things to your hand-eye-coordination and you will be surprised how much your reflexes can improve with a little bit of regular juggling. Highly recommended!

      Yeah! If you work at a keyboard, it’s great to keep a couple juggling balls nearby for a quick break.

          lel one time was on a call on my laptop, and started throwing the juggling balls over the screen, with one hand on either side of the laptop (with the camera on). I had a good run going but then I dropped and I said: “damn.” Unfortunately I forgot I had the mic on. They were like: “Did you say something, Sergio?” So I was like: “Sorry, I’m just mad we missed the deadline!” And they were impressed by my attitude.

    I taught myself to juggle once, didn’t practice for a couple of years and now, not only have I forgotten how to do it, I don’t seem to be able to learn again. Do with that what you will.

      I don’t believe you. You just lack the patience. It’s easier to sit back down and watch youtube than to try to juggle for 10 Minutes. I know, it can be a long time, but it will come back. Did you try with two for a few minutes? Patience, my friend, patience!

      My conclusion: never start juggling. Otherwise you get sad when you don’t maintain it and can’t relearn it :'(
