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.
Well, it's pretty cool you managed to make your work your hobby in the first place! But I guess that's pretty much the case for many people in here :) burn out it's a very serious thing, and I'm glad you made the conscious decision to fight it back by spending time on non-work-related hobbies.
I'm trying to take some time for myself every day, actual me time, anywhere from 1 hour to 3 or 4 over the weekend. How much time do you spend on hobbies these days @ksusha_golovchenko ?

I always try to give preference on my hobbies. I don't hesitate to go for a big tour or travel once a year with my family.

I have just too many of them), but to be serious, I mostly do horseback riding (twice a week) and dancing (an hour every day).

Being a parent of small kids, not much time for hobbies between the day job + startup. It's really just whatever I can do with the kids and have fun at the same time.
Enjoy your free time while you still have it! :)

Absolutely relatable @ksusha_golovchenko !🥹
I am an illustrator and Designer and since my hobby is my profession, sometimes it's really difficult to draw a line between work and pleasure and make art for myself.
And this got kind of worse during pandemic ☹️ as the activities that I used to do for myself like going out for movies, swimming, and visiting my library, all came to an halt.
I then tried to develop other hobbies like stitching, learning new language and more of dancing and reading📚
The time actually varies a lot depending on my office and freelance schedule but I try my best to dedicate a 20-40mins daily.
Then it can be any activity per day. I have like-
Tuesdays and Thursdays- Dance💃🏻
Saturdays- Stitching 🧵 (which my mum teaches me🥰)
Reading- I usually do it almost everyday in morning while or before I have my breakfast for like 20-30 mins
I think any time duration in which you feel totally at peace doing that activity should be fine.❤️
After all, its a hobby and should not become a forceful task.💫
Love this question — honestly, I re-committed to hobbies last year, they're not profitable, and I'm okay with that!
From stand-up comedy to satire and reading, I found having a completely OFFLINE hobby allowed me to stay creative and up to date in my day to day.

I have a passion: learning foreign languages. I even developed my own method. I learned Romanian. I also speak English and German. My native language is Russian. I started learning Czech. But there has been a lot of work lately. And I miss my hobby((

For me, it's always about the weekends & anytime I start feeling low or not feel like working.
So, at times, I take off from work & pursue my hobby.
