I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:
Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".
Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun

You were doing really well until this bit here.
"Capitalism", when poorly implemented, can be, has been and is exploitative and denies people the opportunity to do their "own stuff".
But surely some "other economic models" can also be slightly unforgiving wrt. those leisure time opportunities? If we're talking about from 20th century onwards...
Maybe there are "capitalistic" implementations that are in fact quite beneficial towards leisure activities when compared to those non- or anticapitalistic systems?

[update] Fair enough. I see #anticapitalism is *The Cause* here so any nuance may come across as 'against' it.
With the other far end of the spectrum (far right) deriding all forms of socialism as evil, Europeans — with a democratically determined *mix of both* #capitalism and #socialism — must really be living in a hellish #dystopia... especially those in the #Nordics, the happiest corner of the world.
