I'm not very technically-oriented. So, learning enough to get a federal license to operate an amateur radio station forced me to use new brain cells. I've started building my own antennas, something I've never attempted before. Hobbies are about creativity and finding out things about yourself. Nice post.

I was thinking of this the other night. I play rugby as a hobby. Recently I found myself with not enough time to commit to playing. How much time is too much to spend on a hobby? Great post.

I find that when I do the things I enjoy, rather than always working on my list of things to do, I am more energized for daily tasks...washing dishes is much more enjoyable when I'm daydreaming about the picture I get to paint when I finish with the dishes! :) It's like an oxygen mask on an airplane...in the event of an emergency, put your own mask on first, and then help someone else. Take care of yourself, then you're much better equipped to do whatever else needs attention. Thanks for the great post!

Hobbies are not just a distraction or something to fill empty time, but a real expression about yourself. I think the creative impulse can feed your work. And I think that hearing about people's hobbies gives us insight into their character and drive. What do I do for my hobby? I'm into Home Theater (OK, obsessed with it, really). http://randymurrayonline.com/2009/09/14/hobbies-and-creating-interest/ I completely agree.
