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

    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.
