My wish list on Amazon has every topic imaginable (physics, chemistry, philosophy, behavior, trivia stuff, ect.).
In addition, I'm taking a horticulture certificate and NLP next year. Aside from that, active hobbies are Muay Thai kickboxing, jui jitsu, guitar, drawing, insect collecting, fossil collecting, cooking and archery.
I did play a fair amount of video games up until six months ago. Lately, playing has been more a force of habit. I'll play for 30-45 minutes and think "Man this is boring." Shut it off and a couple days later, same thing. I maybe watch an hour of tv every two days. Internet, 1.5 hours a day.
Lately my issue is that I almost feel like I have an obligation to neglected hobbies. Anyone have tips on prioritizing them? I think reading is very important so that ranks right up there, same with health (cooking and martial arts) and education (NLP and Hort). I think I just answered half my own question but suggestions are welcome!
-Tim | I know what you mean about the bookstore. I just do 1 or 2 hobbies (actively) at the most. Sometimes I'll try and combine a hobby with friends so that my spending time with friends also counts as doing a hobby. For instance, going for a run with a friend.
Then are things I do when I'm on break that I normally never get the time to do.
