Hey, so as the title says: How do you guys balance gaming and other hobbies in your freetime? :) Aside from Gaming i also like many other things like Reading, drawing, coding, ... But usually when i get home from work I just turn on my PC and game until going to sleep. I really wanna read more books and so on but usually i cant motivate myself and then just game all the time.

Any tips how you guys keep the balance between hobbies? :)

I am a hobby collector (collector of hobbies). Generally I think "I'd like to know how to do this" and give it a go. I've calmed down over the years but I've just finished reading about making soap 🙄 and trying not to get invested in that.

But this has given me some experience with your issue: don't force it. Nothing is fun if you feel like you need to do it. Do whatever it is you are feeling up to doing. If you have to do it, then it becomes a chore, not a hobby. Sometimes I just have an urge to do hobby X, other times I do not.

You might not do one thing for months and that's OK too. Just be chill and go with the flow.
