Youngsters getting handy as DIY TikTok helps Gen Z to unwind, according to a cheeky new study. Chores once synonymous with rage are now hot trending mindfulness rituals, with TikTok tutorials forging unexpected zen and surprisingly firm friendships among digital natives.

As Gen Z turns DIY TikTok tutorials into unlikely mindfulness retreats with power tools, they've flipped the script on relaxation—finding serenity in the hum of drills and shared hacks from creators like @craftykenz and @tooltimezoe. Instead of spa days, a Saturday spent assembling IKEA clones in sync with DIY TikTok tutorials now counts as sacred me-time, with power tools standing in for meditation bells and stress literally getting screwed away.
