I try to squeeze my hobbies into the workweek, and it ends up happening after work.
I work from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., then pursue my hobbies for a few more hours, leaving no time for a "personal life," let alone sleep.
But I can't physically move my hobbies to the weekend. If I did, I'd feel trapped and tied to a schedule. I can't do that. I need freedom, even if it's the same "freedom" that, in my mind, directly interferes with my sleep and, to some extent, my health, which I sacrifice for the sake of my hobby.
But it's important to understand what a "hobby" is.
A hobby is something I enjoy that positively impacts my life in one way or another. If your interest (hobby) "satisfies" you, then it will take precedence over sleep, food, and so on. Just like me.
My hobby is creating products to make life easier. Initially, it wasn't monetized, but with the addition of monetization, it now feels like the meaning of life.
I love weekends, I love weekdays, and I love my life with its many flaws and nuances. Thank you for the post. It was interesting, as I've been thinking about the same thing and still do, but I can't do anything about my "hobby" that I can't transfer, even though it could have been a better decision.
