How do you work on your hobbies if you have obligations?

submitted by

I just get too overwhelmed if I have any important life things and can’t start working on a hobby project because I’m too afraid I wouldn’t have the time to finish it or that it might hurt my real obligations. I’ve never been able to balance these two.

Detach, Prioritize, and then face the fact you have to become a little selfish or self-involved to bring projects to fruition, even if only for small bursts. If you pursue your passions professionally, you find ways to systematize and compartmentalize. I may be mentally ill but I never warmed to the hobby approach to my skill-sets. I just always went all in.
