I am a hobby collector and I am grateful that I'm old enough I had time to develop interest in offline hobbies before I really had a digital world to also manage. In my experience, I've always had plenty of hobbies but "never had time" because of my priority structure. There's always something to do around the house, job, etc. even before playing around on the internet. So I feel like I have to get everything done around the house before I can do a hobby. Unsurprisingly, the things around the house exist in cycles (laundry and dishes for example) and they're never actually done. So I've had to be intentional about just making time to do the hobbies, (and ignore the easy access of internet memes and the pile of laundry waiting to be folded) and as a result I'm a lot happier!

Most of my offline hobbies are around sports. As many and as often as humanly possible, it's the only way I can get my brain to shut up and just move.
Exercise and sports are super helpful. Heading to Mt. Rainier National Park this weekend to explore and enjoy nature! Keep it up!
