For me its probably Gaming - I’ve been trying to master civ 6 and Dots 2 lately and I also enjoy reading - Been trying to read the Singularity is near, but this book is just very academic and its taking a while lol

    That’s a very positive way of putting it, I like that.
    It is a lot of fun to start something new. Every time I’m full of naive optimism that this is going to by my forever hobby, the one I’m going to be doing until I’m an old lady. It’s nice to dream :)

      I like acquiring enough competence in a craft to be able to cover the basics, and collect useful tools. That way, if ever I’d benefit from being able to do something, I can do it with minimal speed bumps.

      For example, welding a broken chair, 3d printing a weird-shaped bracket, stitching a pair of pants, etc. As long as I can do something well enough to work, or at least show an expert what I want, I’m satisfied

        Your approach is very practical, it’s nice that you can set clear expectations for yourself.

        I guess my hobby collection is more about trying different ways to express myself. I have this urge to create something, something that came from me and my imagination. But it never matches up to my expectations and I get disheartened. So I switch to a different hobby and try over.
        I should learn to be happy with small results, but it’s hard for some reason.
