About this episode
Your hobbies may be just as important as your friendships in your 20s. But whilst you may dedicate 10-15 hours a week to your friends, most of us can go a week or two without actually performing our hobbies. Why is that, and what is the consequence?In today's episode we break down the psychology of why our hobbies are so important, including:
- The debate around what makes a hobby
- How many hobbies do you actually need?
- How much time should you spend doing your hobbies?
- The Rule of Four for hobbies
- The psychological benefits
- The 3 major reasons we struggle to perform our hobbies
- How to find time, inspiration and motivation for your hobbies, and more
