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

@malcircuit I felt this!! I love trying new things out, but it doesn’t mean I have to commit to them if they turn out to not be a good fit. It’s very liberating being able to decide what you spend your precious free time on - ‘Jack of all trades’ should be a compliment!

@BrisVegas There's a book that I read (and never finished lol 😅) called Range where the author argues that exploring many things *is essential* to finding what you love and what you're really good at.
