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 Thank you for saying this! I took up knitting again recently, and instead of trying to jump into a complicated sweater or something right away, I'm just making really simple scarves, first for my family, and now to donate. It's mainly to keep my hands busy while watching TV. It doesn't have to be Olympic level difficulty!
