How much time do you spend on hobbies?

by
•
Last 5 years my job was my hobby. And then I felt burning out emotionally. Thats why now I decided to do tennis, dancing and painting apart from work. I’m wondering how much time is okay for that.

I generally try to play the guitar whenever I take a break from programming, or there's a really annoying bug i've spent hours trying to fix. It adds upto 1-2 hours a day, which I think is perfect. What motivates me to keep playing the guitar is simply just the habit, code doesn't work? Play guitar. I think that's the perfect leverage

@dhravya does it help you to fix bugs?😄

@ksusha_golovchenko sometimes things just click in 😅

Even deciding something is one step closer to a goal, and I think even some minutes in a day for your hobbies can give you happiness, it's a good decision @ksusha_golovchenko. All the best!

1 to 2 hours time in a day is okay to spend on hobbies. If possible do spend some time on hobbies, it intention help in mental relaxation. I also love dancing and drawing but am not able to give time daily.

Previously I was used to give my most of the time to my Office work and homework only but nowadays I am doing drawing and I have a youtube channel too, I like creative things and I can say happily that I am giving enough time to my hobby but yes can't say specific time but yes at least half-hour in weekdays and then depends on other work.

I haven't devoted much time to my hobbies since February, because I've started volunteering a lot. However, before, I would spend 1-2 hours on a working day for that, and 2-3 on weekends

@anna_mandziuk what kind of hobby you did?

@ksusha_golovchenko Painting, reading, dancing, and makeup. All your usual stuff pretty much :) I also enjoyed going to the mountains with my family and friends, but that was a spring/summer activity

Happy to see that you are open to share your emotions. I love to code and doing that from Monday-Friday. Apart from that, my hobbies are reading philosophy, long driving and keyboard playing that I do mostly on weekends. Reading for 1 hour is regular. General human tendency is to get reward from karma. But Forget about results and give your 100% to hobies or work, result will be there for sure. I hope this helps you to move forward and live happily.

Spend however much time that you think is enough on your hobbies, just try to find the right balance. If your weekdays are too full, spend a day on the weekend to relax/do your hobbies.

If you’re asking “how much time is okay for that?” I’m afraid you might be missing the point of hobbies. We are over-structuring our days and it’s not worth it. Maybe for short periods, when you really need to focus to achieve a goal, but it’s not a sustainable lifestyle. I’m guilty of falling into that trap more often than not too. But I can’t imagine limiting and optimizing the activities that bring us joy could lead to a happy, fulfilling life.
