I’m a huge fan of collecting hobbies. It keeps me curious, and every now and then one sticks pretty hard.
But to keep yourself sane, you also need to accept that you won’t master most hobbies you dabble in. I am a pretty good woodworker. I do some pretty neat 3D printing projects. I’m a decent gamer. I’m fairly good at the shotgun range. I used to be pretty good at racquetball. But I’m not great at any of it.
The only one I got really good at is scuba diving, so I actually picked up a side gig teaching scuba and underwater photography at a university. Underwater photography gets pricey fast, but now I can share the joy of it with students while letting them use my camera gear while writing it all off.
You don’t understand the issue
i have too many hobbies, so I don’t do any of them and instead just ✨PHONE✨

Instead saying your hobby is phone, say: my hobby is collecting dopamine.
That’s everyone hobby, to varying degrees of success.
