Many of you have been asking me about the to-do app I’m using in this video and in my everyday life. Well, I’ve finally made a video about it! 🎉 Sorry for the long wait ☺️ ruclips.net/video/w9GHMw4-D3E/видео.html Or use my link to directly get the app: ticktick.com/event/redeem?code=koalanof1005
Took a quick pause to write this comment. You just said “videogames, not very productive, but still a hobby.” I think the biggest issue we have developed is thinking that hobbies have to be productive. Just like with your photography, once a hobby becomes a job, it loses a lot of its attraction. Hobbies are meant to be unproductive, sure they can be beneficial and help you improve in many ways, but the point is to just enjoy them, without worrying about producing something
I guess I don't fit the demographic because I'm 72 but here goes. My most compelling passions (hobbies somehow doesn't work for me) are writing and oil painting. I have one novel published 'The Crooked Knife ' and several looking for a publisher. I have sold a few oil paintings but this is a passion I only started taking seriously a year ago. I do yoga daily, meditate (35 years) , make quilts, garden and cook. I read about 100 books a year. I keep a journal and a sketchbook. Some passions are seasonal (knitting in the winter) and some are quite sporadic (making dolls, hooking rugs). I walk daily but that and the yoga are simply necessary at my age. Most of my passions revolve around the same intentions - I'd rather create than consume and I'd rather learn than live in ignorant bliss. Leonardo da Vinci is my hero. They used to call what you and I get up to bei g a Renaissance person. Keep on keepin' on.
1. Hierarchy 2. Setting milestones 3. You can’t achieve it all 4. Quitting is also okay 5. Improve what you can (no matter the subject) 6. Try, but don’t force it 7. Do it with someone 8. Take a break 9. Combining hobbies 10. Don’t stress
Actually, I would add that you shouldn't expect yourself to be perfect or to create something perfect. In my opinion, perfection is boring, and it is so freaking hard to achieve. Sometimes, perfection is unnecessary to be happy with the result. You can create something imperfect or do something not as well as you expected, but all of this contributes to make better imperfect things. It’s easier to go through something when you bring a little bit of joy to it. For example, it’s easier for me to learn to play an instrument when I don't judge myself for missing the rhythm totally or changing notes. Instead, I enjoy every single note, every part of something I love to listen to, even if it's just the beginning. Don’t force yourself to be exactly how you’ve imagined in your head, just like with the things you create. It’s very difficult, and with time, your perspective constantly changes-your goals and possibilities change as well. You’re always doing your best if you approach things with curiosity and passion.
Yess. Personal quote I try to live by. Experimentation over perfection. I try hard to view exercise specifically through this lens, since it helps me to fail over and over until I find what clicks
I’m early in but I strongly believe that skills are a lot more transferable than one might initially think. Multiple hobbies/skills can be extremely beneficial in that they can fuel each other.
I love stacking hobbies. As a new dad-with-no time, combine activities is the best and only solution. I love games and learn new languages, só a started play videogames in another language. I can relate too cooking while listening podcasts/RUclips videos and read and draw before bed time for improve my sleep quality
That's amazing! I don't think I could've combined reading with something else, because I don't have concentration for that. Video games in another language is something I did before and it actually helps!
Dang, the algorithm knows what I've been up to haha! I am also a many-hobbies person and recently I implemented a "focus week" approach where I only focus on one hobby per week and it's been absolutely amazing. I've been on this plan for 3 weeks now and I've gotten so much progress in!
I tried that about a year ago and I remember having the most success with that, might have to try again. I've been trying to do one day one thing or two day a thing per week but honestly it feels so scattered and unconfused that it doesn't seem productive. I just hate the idea of putting something "on hold" for long but realistically i'm doing everything poorly period. Hows the one focus thing per week still going for you?
@@tranceaddict11 I thing per week will have such a slow progress rate I would consider it pointless. My main hobbies are dance, yoga, gym and Spiritual practice. I alternate them but fit dance and gym in the same day, (morn dance, evening gym) then next day yoga and Spiritual works, and keep alternating. This is 4 full hobbies with only having one day off in between which can lead to mastery should regular practice continue for long term.
I just didn't think exercising (running, swimming, bouldering, etc.) as a hobby, I thought it was just that. it's nice to see that at least I have one hobby, that got me hopeful, thanks a lot!
I think the full quote is something like "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often is better than a master of one" which you might find more encouraging :)
It’s easy! I just spiral into one of my special interests one at a time until I get burnt out and spiral into the next one. Have been doing it my whole life. Sometimes I spice it up with a short spiral into a new hobby, as a treat.
I think positively about the statement "Jack of all trades, master of none". It just tells you that you don't have to reach mastery if you do end up breaching out into different things. It's kinda chill just moving at your own pace in all the different fun things you can do.
I just picked up my guitar again after a year of not playing. It feels like I’m starting all over again. It’s weird picking up hobbies from my early childhood again.
@@koalanof not at the moment. I’m just becoming comfortable with playing. My fingers hurt after about ten minutes, so it’s just getting used to it again. How about yourself?
As a jack of all trades and master/god of some? I fully relate to this video. I have found out that I have these different phases where I'll put all my time into one hobby for example piano. After 2-3 month of practicing piano ill switch to skating or climbing, where again I put all my effort in. After 4-5 years of doing this on and off ive become what I believe; somewhat better than I would if I did all the hobbies at the same time. But again, I think everyone has their own balance in their hobbies. I wish I could surf more but that's where time and money actually comes in for me. Or is it an excuse? because if I quit the other hobbies I would have time&the money for surfing ;)
Oh wow, I kinda relate actually, that's really insightful... I think for me though now that I think about it I often had 3-4 going on throughout the week with a couple other occasional ones (monthly/ semi monthly / annually/ etc), whereas my daily/ semi daily habits I often hop from one to another in intervals of a couple months too 🤔🤔
One of the few perks of ADHD-the hyperfocus we can dedicate to our revolving door of hobbies :) Language learning, typesetting and design, bookbinding, cross-stitching, sewing, the list goes on. I’ll lose steam on one for a bit, but eventually I come back to the same hobbies.
Mine are piano, skiing, composing, guitar, painting, dance, tennis, swimming, reading 😆 oh forgot writing poetry and video games. I also did photography a couple of times and likely will again. Omg, Duolingo is a hobby I guess, adding that to the list! 😂😢 and cooking
Love the community in the comment section here! Currently trying to better manage my multiple hobbies as well. Really cool to see how other humans on the internet manage their self-learning journey!
So, I came across this video and clicked because I have a lot of hobbies. Some I do on and off, some I want to pick up again, and some I really want to start. I never thought to be mindful about my hobbies. I’m going to go make my list. Thank you for the video.
I am over 50 years old and still enjoy many hobbies. Mine are of the craft variety. I run a full time business (a bookstore) and never have enough time to do every thing I enjoy. Time management is definitely always a challenge. Never stop trying new things. Some of may favorite things to do I have just discovered in the last few years.
Thanks so much for this! I have a bajillion hobbies that I'm constantly jumping between. It's encouraging to know there are people like me out there. I feel bad for quitting things or taking breaks from them. I really needed to hear that finding balance is possible & there's no pressure on how you have to explore & enjoy things.
And here I thought I had a lot of hobbies to fit in my schedule with pole dance, exercising for it every now and then, drawing, reading, keeping up with my fave shows and video games
The hardest thing about hobbies are the learning curves! Theres always that golden period when progress is quick before something prevents further improvement. With Flute, Karate and writing ive gotten over the first couple curves but ive given up skateboarding and dance and im at my breaking point with chess xD These tips are really helpful maybe ill look for some online chess groups and commit myself to a couple games a day. My milestones could be rating points or winning a game with a certain opening. Ive got so many low priority hobbies too ahh the decisions of what i want to pursue!!!
Hello Fellow Hobbiest, I was really entertained by your experience of juggling many hobbies. It’s making me think I should be a little more goal and milestone based with mine. I’m in my 40s have a 12-year old son and the hobbies I’m currently doing include: 1. Guitar 2. Reading paper books (not on kindle) 3. Learning Norwegian 4. Playing Magic The Gathering on-line via Arena 5. Consuming self help content of various types and applying it to life 6. Doing the 100 push-up challenge 7. Playing Baseball (hard ball fast pitch) in a recreation league for 30years or older. 8. Journaling 9. Many other hobbies on back burner… Thanks for the video. I hope one day to create content around the same theme.
This might be a useful "playbacking" tip: when you're editing those shots where you're "speaking" the voiceover on camera, try to move the video ahead/make the audio come a frame or two, three later. It makes it seem less 'fake', because now it just looks like you're purely playbacking, and making the audio come just a little bit later usually removes that effect!
Just a minor point, the "full quote" is a recent addition to the quote. The first time the "is better than a master of one/none" has been noted was in 2017. Meanwhile, "Jack of all trades, master of none" dates to the mid 16th century
I'm not sure whether 2017 was the first time, but I was surprised to discover that you're right 😱 Why would people go on the internet and just tell lies??
This is a nice video☺️ Managing all my hobbies with life has always been a balancing act. Even so, I enjoy being the Jill of all Trades because it has helped me interweave between industries and understand people better than if I only focused on one thing.
Hey! This video was very nice to watch as we have some overlapping hobbies: I like ( in priority order) Climbing/Bouldering, Yoga, Reading, cooking, hiking, improv theater, swimming, Skateboarding. I unfortunately don't have too much control over my schedule ( A part time job and a part time kid take most of my weekends) but I try to keep things balanced between SINGLE and Company hobbies, as I want to improve my solo time quality, and also between hobbies that enrich my BODY, MIND and SOUL. Starting from the fact that anything you enjoy doing is good food for your soul, I try to balance my schedule in order to have a good comprehensive week with activities that compensate each other out. For example, If a week I have to read a lot for school, I won't spend so much time reading outside school but maybe move more my body, to get rid of stiffness and stress. While if I am on holiday, I plan to learn more about yoga philosophy or read in general. This keeps me motivated and shift the goal from being better at skateboarding to move myself and get more flexible, strong or whatever.
By the way, painting and drawing socially is possible! Plein air, trips to the museum to learn from the paintings, and life drawing can all be done in groups. It's interesting to see other people's techniques, especially when you're all drawing the same subject!
Having multiple interest and hobbies is natural. One does not to be a master of them. Once you try to master something it no longer is a hobby it’s a passion, it no longer is an interest it’s a dedication.
@@koalanof Oof. Music (piano, violin, guitar, and about 10 more instruments), crafts (crocheting, sewing, leatherwork, bookmaking, woodworking, fiber prep), writing, cooking, motorcycle riding, hiking...there are probably more things that I'd like to spend more time doing than I currently do, but those are what come to mind. Would like to try rock climbing, hope to fit some ice skating and skiing in this winter. So yep, you can see why this video title caught my eye! How about you?
Such an amazing quality video! I really hope the algorithm pushes this further; it's amazingly narrated, edited and paced! For sure motivated me to tap back into some of the hobbies I'd left behind.
I don’t know if I’m alone in this but the background music and your voice were fighting for their lives in my earphones. 😋 (and if I had to pick a winner when it comes to audio mixing, it’s the background music) Great video. 🙏🙂 I don’t believe the goal of a hobby is to be good at it. The goal of a hobby is to enjoy it so have as many as you please (and can maie time for). 😊
Hahaha I feel the point about shiny object syndrome/jealousy. I decided I wanted to get good at watercolour, but while learning about colour palettes and the like I kept seeing people talk about oils, oils, oils. If I had disposable income like I used to, there would be paint tubes, special paint mediums, and canvas paper on the way to my place now. Something considerably over the bare minimum because I get curious about different materials. But even the bare minimum would be a lot since it seems like using them on paper is a no-go, you need special fluids to dilute them, and even if I limit my colour range I suspect I'd still need a lot of paint since practising eats up so much. I'd still like to try it eventually, but I have to be smart about when and why, instead of letting social media and online shopping press my buttons. The stakes got higher because I have less room in my life for junk than I used to, as well! By the way, my current slate of hobbies is watercolouring, gardening, cooking, reading (comics and not comics), DnD, video games, and the odd spot of camping/hiking. Working on adding exercise so I'm strong enough to do some canoing/kayaking trips next summer. Sewing, crocheting, and knitting will come back for me one day, I just don't have enough time/attention span to crank out projects at a satisfying pace anymore. Sewing especially demands a lot of space for projects and a couple hours at a time to hit small milestones (maybe I have to change my approach?). It's also a hobby where people don't realize how much work goes into it and expect you to make things for them. I made the mistake of saying yes to a couple of projects and I've been dragging my feet ever since 😱
I am nursing student an I have few hobbies: sailing, swimming, climbing, skating (and also skateboarding on penny board and iceskating), scouting, emergency medicine and connected with emergency medicine: first aid, characterisation and medical simulation acting. Also: writing and reading especially fantasy - and thing that connects it: volunteering on convents as medic or safety/information patrols. And I am also an artist especially amateur graphic designer, and I LOVE CRAFTS. it is A LOT. And I agree with everything you said. But sometimes I waste my time on things that don’t matter like social media. I am working on figuring out how to do things I actually enjoy
While i love the expression "jack of all trades and a master of none" which describes me to a T. im trying to work towards "jack of all trades and a master of fun!" because if its not fun or rewarding, who or what are you doing it for? having fun should be your main objective on the long term. my general hobbies: -Gunpla -scale modeling and painting -3d modeling -product development -photography (with vintage lenses especially) - anything that requires you to make a thing actually 🤣 and i noticed that little circle of hyperfixations helps me improve on everything that peaks my interests. ofcourse there are more because collecting hobbies is a hobbie by itself~
At school I used to sell tiny books I binded until teachers shut down my business so I started giving them for free. It was like a fun hobby that I could make money off
Love the video!! You are incredibly talented. Keep the videos coming and I swear you will gain a great following!! Love the effort and creativity you put into your editing
I find your tips helpful for hobbies where you only have responsibilities for yourself. But personally, I struggle a lot more to manage and prioritise social and voluntary hobbies where I take on responsibilities for other people and projects. I guess some of your advice is applicable, but if you were to have some more specific, for these kinds of hobbies, I would be very glad to hear it.
Beautiful video, so much effort in it. I agree on every point! Once you accept the way you are and try make the most of it without becoming crazy, it's so much fun. I love so many things, I did so many and I will do more. People underestimate the power of small and slow progress throughout the years. I love studying languages, it's like a game to me, I speak 6 and I continue to improve them little by little. I also played classical piano around 1 hour a day for 6 years and made great progress but had to stop when I hurt my back. I love drawing/painting but I dont do it anymore cuz it's not a priority to me and also bc of my back. I sang in a choir for almost 10 years, I love singing. I like writing too, I wrote short stories, fanfictions and then started a novel. I go to the gym for the most part of the year twice a week. I also love acting, I did film school but then realized I'd rather teach it than actually being in the industry. I also took a BA and a MA in philosophy and I would like to do a phd in aesthetics of the performance. I did youtube and Im planning to create a completely new channel next year applying all ive learned so far, about philosophy and related topics. I also love chess and I'm quite good at it, some months I play all the time, no joke and then I just cancel all the apps cuz I become addicted, it makes me lose so much time and demands a lot of concentration lol I also love videogames, but I play those only when I am sick (and I've been a lot in my life sadly, I like to run away into other worlds when I cant do anything). I also like reading but it's hard for me to find a book that I cannto wait to open every day, so I tend to read the same books again and again in different languages. I also did riding for 5 years but stopped when I hurt myself falling. And there's so much I still would like to try just for the fun of it: ice skating, martial arts, manga school, dancing (especially ballet), directing movies, writing screenplays, learning swedish, hebrew, greek and pick up latin again, becoming a PT and I could go on lol. The weird thing is that I am naturally talented for all the things that I like doing. What can I say, I love life, there's so much to do and explore. I only wish I had the health and the time to do it and never die XD I could never be stuck in a repetitive job for 10 years straight.
This is a really awesome video. I'm trying to navigate my way through almost this exact situation down to wanting to move on from lifting at the gym and running less so I can get (back for me) into swimming and this video really hit the spot. And alternatively, I really love piano :D Sick editing and awesome insights, looking forward to more videos 🔥🔥🙏🙏
Wow! I’m flattered by such a nice comment! Really happy you found the video enjoyable and relatable ☺️ Hope you get to figure out how to navigate your hobbies! Just don’t give up!
You might be interested in the book REFUSE TO CHOOSE by Barbara Sher. She talks about a whole lot of different ways to live out a multi-passionate life.
really good video. i do indeed have multiple interests and hobbies but i cant seem to do em all because of the mindset that everyone has put inside my brain which is to do just 1 thing and focus. people might confuse it with multitasking but its not.
Love the video! Quick tip to look like a pro in the pool, your swim cap seam should run from front of your head to back of your neck, not from ear to ear! ;)
I think that depends on your interest on it. To me, cooking and exercising are hobbies, they are “skills” that I personally enjoy dedicating myself to. Reading, for me, is more of a task. I know it’s good for me, and it’s good practice for my research, but I often don’t fully enjoy myself doing it
Nice video, hope you get the views you want (found you over threads hahaha) and regarding hobbies: I used to have a lot but now with focusing on my business i almost don't do anyone of them anymore. But that will change again in future, I am sure haha. Best of luck for your channel!
How awesome 😊! I just started this lifestyle a couple of weeks ago. I'm just wondering which language you would like to learn or are currently learning.
I would add, if you are a woman, to schedule your hobbies based on your menstrual cycle and energy level, moving the more physical activities when you are at your peak and lessening the weight on your inner autums and winter. There are many books and videos about it, check them out if you are interested.
Dayum bro, amazing video! Loved the quality of it! You're gonna make it big on RUclips if you keep up the good work - maybe RUclips can become a new hobby of yours? :)
Thank you! These type of videos take up a lot of time to make ✨ so I’m currently doing a 30 day challenge of making a video every day for a month. The quality is lower, but I’d like to hear your feedback ☺️
That was my exact thought when I first started using it! And you’re right, you can only create tasks. So I import my work calendar and have those be events. Because events for me are things that won’t be affected by other circumstances. I’ve gotten used to it
i don't understand the premise of wondering which is better, one or many hobbies - as if it weren't purely a matter of one's nature?! and the second premise, that we need to improve and become good at our hobbies... this will happen naturally, if the hobby keeps our interest for long enough, but isn't the whole point of a hobby to relax and enjoy, without pressures of the rest of our activities?! i'm sorry but if you find that people don't watch all the way (as you mentioned in one comment), maybe it's simply the choice of words in your intro, or something simple like that (that you can, if you wish/need, easily improve upon)
Gross. Open comments on social media are so dangerous especially when odds are we’d be actual friends in real life some shared interest. (Negative outside influencers - they operate like a global street gang!) I totally practice piano with you. Primo Secundo.
I’m early in but I strongly believe that skills are a lot more transferable than one might initially think. Multiple hobbies/skills can be extremely beneficial in that they can fuel each other.

Took a quick pause to write this comment. You just said “videogames, not very productive, but still a hobby.”
I think the biggest issue we have developed is thinking that hobbies have to be productive. Just like with your photography, once a hobby becomes a job, it loses a lot of its attraction.

No cookies, no productivity!
@@GreyEyedRaven awesome! Here's a cookie from me 🍪

With Flute, Karate and writing ive gotten over the first couple curves but ive given up skateboarding and dance and im at my breaking point with chess xD These tips are really helpful maybe ill look for some online chess groups and commit myself to a couple games a day. My milestones could be rating points or winning a game with a certain opening. Ive got so many low priority hobbies too ahh the decisions of what i want to pursue!!!
Hello Fellow Hobbiest,
I was really entertained by your experience of juggling many hobbies. It’s making me think I should be a little more goal and milestone based with mine.
I’m in my 40s have a 12-year old son and the hobbies I’m currently doing include:
1. Guitar
2. Reading paper books (not on kindle)
3. Learning Norwegian
4. Playing Magic The Gathering on-line via Arena
5. Consuming self help content of various types and applying it to life
6. Doing the 100 push-up challenge
7. Playing Baseball (hard ball fast pitch) in a recreation league for 30years or older.
8. Journaling
9. Many other hobbies on back burner…
Thanks for the video. I hope one day to create content around the same theme.
This might be a useful "playbacking" tip: when you're editing those shots where you're "speaking" the voiceover on camera, try to move the video ahead/make the audio come a frame or two, three later. It makes it seem less 'fake', because now it just looks like you're purely playbacking, and making the audio come just a little bit later usually removes that effect!
0:54 so peeved. You’re at it again. Just straight up gorgeous cinematography. Wow. ❤. So much to process and not even close to finished.
That’s a lot of kind words, thank you again so much for watching and commenting
@@koalanof given there’s a lot of unknown with social media. (Background and outside influencers). This has always been the pretty channel.
Just a minor point, the "full quote" is a recent addition to the quote. The first time the "is better than a master of one/none" has been noted was in 2017. Meanwhile, "Jack of all trades, master of none" dates to the mid 16th century
Really? I didn't know that
I'm not sure whether 2017 was the first time, but I was surprised to discover that you're right 😱 Why would people go on the internet and just tell lies??
What an inspiring video! I loved how well-made it is, too. Hats off, sir!
Thank you kindly:)
This is a nice video☺️ Managing all my hobbies with life has always been a balancing act. Even so, I enjoy being the Jill of all Trades because it has helped me interweave between industries and understand people better than if I only focused on one thing.
So underrated!!
From the cinematography to tge editing to the storyline..
This is fire bro!
Keep it up
That’s fire! Thanks for the positive and kind words! :)
Nice profile pic bro
Hey! This video was very nice to watch as we have some overlapping hobbies: I like ( in priority order) Climbing/Bouldering, Yoga, Reading, cooking, hiking, improv theater, swimming, Skateboarding. I unfortunately don't have too much control over my schedule ( A part time job and a part time kid take most of my weekends) but I try to keep things balanced between SINGLE and Company hobbies, as I want to improve my solo time quality, and also between hobbies that enrich my BODY, MIND and SOUL. Starting from the fact that anything you enjoy doing is good food for your soul, I try to balance my schedule in order to have a good comprehensive week with activities that compensate each other out. For example, If a week I have to read a lot for school, I won't spend so much time reading outside school but maybe move more my body, to get rid of stiffness and stress. While if I am on holiday, I plan to learn more about yoga philosophy or read in general. This keeps me motivated and shift the goal from being better at skateboarding to move myself and get more flexible, strong or whatever.
By the way, painting and drawing socially is possible! Plein air, trips to the museum to learn from the paintings, and life drawing can all be done in groups. It's interesting to see other people's techniques, especially when you're all drawing the same subject!
Thanks so much for this video, man. You give me hope. Very great tips. And you are living proof!
It was one of the best videos that i watched in this week 🔥🔥
You're awesome man
Thank you for your kind words! You made my day happy 😊
Having multiple interest and hobbies is natural. One does not to be a master of them. Once you try to master something it no longer is a hobby it’s a passion, it no longer is an interest it’s a dedication.
The full quote (Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one) is something I console myself with often!
What are your interests?
@@koalanof Oof. Music (piano, violin, guitar, and about 10 more instruments), crafts (crocheting, sewing, leatherwork, bookmaking, woodworking, fiber prep), writing, cooking, motorcycle riding, hiking...there are probably more things that I'd like to spend more time doing than I currently do, but those are what come to mind. Would like to try rock climbing, hope to fit some ice skating and skiing in this winter. So yep, you can see why this video title caught my eye! How about you?
Such an amazing quality video! I really hope the algorithm pushes this further; it's amazingly narrated, edited and paced! For sure motivated me to tap back into some of the hobbies I'd left behind.
You’re so sweet for saying such kind words! Thank you for making my day ☺️
I don’t know if I’m alone in this but the background music and your voice were fighting for their lives in my earphones. 😋 (and if I had to pick a winner when it comes to audio mixing, it’s the background music)
Great video. 🙏🙂
I don’t believe the goal of a hobby is to be good at it. The goal of a hobby is to enjoy it so have as many as you please (and can maie time for). 😊
Hahaha I feel the point about shiny object syndrome/jealousy. I decided I wanted to get good at watercolour, but while learning about colour palettes and the like I kept seeing people talk about oils, oils, oils.
If I had disposable income like I used to, there would be paint tubes, special paint mediums, and canvas paper on the way to my place now. Something considerably over the bare minimum because I get curious about different materials.
But even the bare minimum would be a lot since it seems like using them on paper is a no-go, you need special fluids to dilute them, and even if I limit my colour range I suspect I'd still need a lot of paint since practising eats up so much.
I'd still like to try it eventually, but I have to be smart about when and why, instead of letting social media and online shopping press my buttons. The stakes got higher because I have less room in my life for junk than I used to, as well!
By the way, my current slate of hobbies is watercolouring, gardening, cooking, reading (comics and not comics), DnD, video games, and the odd spot of camping/hiking. Working on adding exercise so I'm strong enough to do some canoing/kayaking trips next summer.
Sewing, crocheting, and knitting will come back for me one day, I just don't have enough time/attention span to crank out projects at a satisfying pace anymore. Sewing especially demands a lot of space for projects and a couple hours at a time to hit small milestones (maybe I have to change my approach?). It's also a hobby where people don't realize how much work goes into it and expect you to make things for them. I made the mistake of saying yes to a couple of projects and I've been dragging my feet ever since 😱
You should have so much more subscribers, such good filming, storytelling and editing and interesting ideas!
I’m so happy to hear that! It really warms my heart. Thank you very much!
I am nursing student an I have few hobbies: sailing, swimming, climbing, skating (and also skateboarding on penny board and iceskating), scouting, emergency medicine and connected with emergency medicine: first aid, characterisation and medical simulation acting. Also: writing and reading especially fantasy - and thing that connects it: volunteering on convents as medic or safety/information patrols. And I am also an artist especially amateur graphic designer, and I LOVE CRAFTS. it is A LOT. And I agree with everything you said. But sometimes I waste my time on things that don’t matter like social media. I am working on figuring out how to do things I actually enjoy
That’s a lot of hobbies! Many unique ones too. As I said it’s important to make a list of priorities and dedicate time to those that matters
While i love the expression "jack of all trades and a master of none" which describes me to a T. im trying to work towards "jack of all trades and a master of fun!" because if its not fun or rewarding, who or what are you doing it for? having fun should be your main objective on the long term.
my general hobbies:
-Gunpla
-scale modeling and painting
-3d modeling
-product development
-photography (with vintage lenses especially)
- anything that requires you to make a thing actually 🤣
and i noticed that little circle of hyperfixations helps me improve on everything that peaks my interests. ofcourse there are more because collecting hobbies is a hobbie by itself~
At school I used to sell tiny books I binded until teachers shut down my business so I started giving them for free. It was like a fun hobby that I could make money off
Love the video!! You are incredibly talented. Keep the videos coming and I swear you will gain a great following!! Love the effort and creativity you put into your editing
Thank you very much for the nice comment! It really makes me motivated to continue ☺️
I find your tips helpful for hobbies where you only have responsibilities for yourself. But personally, I struggle a lot more to manage and prioritise social and voluntary hobbies where I take on responsibilities for other people and projects. I guess some of your advice is applicable, but if you were to have some more specific, for these kinds of hobbies, I would be very glad to hear it.
this was a great way to start my morning! 😃✌️
Beautiful video, so much effort in it. I agree on every point! Once you accept the way you are and try make the most of it without becoming crazy, it's so much fun. I love so many things, I did so many and I will do more. People underestimate the power of small and slow progress throughout the years.
I love studying languages, it's like a game to me, I speak 6 and I continue to improve them little by little. I also played classical piano around 1 hour a day for 6 years and made great progress but had to stop when I hurt my back. I love drawing/painting but I dont do it anymore cuz it's not a priority to me and also bc of my back. I sang in a choir for almost 10 years, I love singing. I like writing too, I wrote short stories, fanfictions and then started a novel. I go to the gym for the most part of the year twice a week. I also love acting, I did film school but then realized I'd rather teach it than actually being in the industry. I also took a BA and a MA in philosophy and I would like to do a phd in aesthetics of the performance. I did youtube and Im planning to create a completely new channel next year applying all ive learned so far, about philosophy and related topics. I also love chess and I'm quite good at it, some months I play all the time, no joke and then I just cancel all the apps cuz I become addicted, it makes me lose so much time and demands a lot of concentration lol I also love videogames, but I play those only when I am sick (and I've been a lot in my life sadly, I like to run away into other worlds when I cant do anything). I also like reading but it's hard for me to find a book that I cannto wait to open every day, so I tend to read the same books again and again in different languages. I also did riding for 5 years but stopped when I hurt myself falling. And there's so much I still would like to try just for the fun of it: ice skating, martial arts, manga school, dancing (especially ballet), directing movies, writing screenplays, learning swedish, hebrew, greek and pick up latin again, becoming a PT and I could go on lol.
The weird thing is that I am naturally talented for all the things that I like doing. What can I say, I love life, there's so much to do and explore. I only wish I had the health and the time to do it and never die XD I could never be stuck in a repetitive job for 10 years straight.
This is a really awesome video. I'm trying to navigate my way through almost this exact situation down to wanting to move on from lifting at the gym and running less so I can get (back for me) into swimming and this video really hit the spot. And alternatively, I really love piano :D Sick editing and awesome insights, looking forward to more videos 🔥🔥🙏🙏
Wow! I’m flattered by such a nice comment! Really happy you found the video enjoyable and relatable ☺️ Hope you get to figure out how to navigate your hobbies! Just don’t give up!
Insane video! Crazy editing skills and love you style, keep it up!
Thank you for the amazingly kind comment!
Great video!
You might be interested in the book REFUSE TO CHOOSE by Barbara Sher. She talks about a whole lot of different ways to live out a multi-passionate life.
I’ll check it out! Thank you very much
This channel is going to blow up!
That’s very optimistic of you! But, thank you:)
thank you thank you thank you for this video, i was really lost with my hobbies
I’m happy I could help ☺️
Beautiful video, well scripted and executed! That was informative and fun, thanks!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face! 😊
Great video! Got this recomended by RUclips, but and it's very relatable :))
I’m happy to hear that! And thank you for commenting and watching !!
Great video. I can relate very well to having a lot of interests. Always good to gets some input.
You’re not the only one! Thank you for watching:)
really good video. i do indeed have multiple interests and hobbies but i cant seem to do em all because of the mindset that everyone has put inside my brain which is to do just 1 thing and focus. people might confuse it with multitasking but its not.
That’s why time management is so important
7:55 charge that bad boy, he need some juice 🔋
He’s on a diet, no juice for him
Love the video! Quick tip to look like a pro in the pool, your swim cap seam should run from front of your head to back of your neck, not from ear to ear! ;)
Okay, noted! Now I know why everybody’s looking at me in the pool hahah
I don't consider playing a sport or a instrument as hobbies because they require a lot of effort, to me those are skills.
That's a very interesting view on that. For me hobbies are something I enjoy doing.
I think that depends on your interest on it. To me, cooking and exercising are hobbies, they are “skills” that I personally enjoy dedicating myself to. Reading, for me, is more of a task. I know it’s good for me, and it’s good practice for my research, but I often don’t fully enjoy myself doing it
Nice video! I really enjoyed it, instant sub 🙂↕️
Thank you! 🙏
Great video! Lots of it really helped me.
Really? That’s great to hear!
Nice video, hope you get the views you want (found you over threads hahaha) and regarding hobbies: I used to have a lot but now with focusing on my business i almost don't do anyone of them anymore. But that will change again in future, I am sure haha. Best of luck for your channel!
Appreciate the nice words! Don’t give up:)
How awesome 😊! I just started this lifestyle a couple of weeks ago. I'm just wondering which language you would like to learn or are currently learning.
Best of luck to you! Update us on how it’s going in the future! I’m learning Chinese and Japanese
Intro was smooth. Insta like and subscribe
Thank you!
bro got skills 💥💥💥💥
What can I say? I’m just that good 😜
1. Set milestones
2. Habbit tracker
3. Boring thingssss
I would add, if you are a woman, to schedule your hobbies based on your menstrual cycle and energy level, moving the more physical activities when you are at your peak and lessening the weight on your inner autums and winter. There are many books and videos about it, check them out if you are interested.
I love this! (Came from threads hehe)
Let’s go! Thanks a lot for watching and commenting:)
New sub here to follow your amazing journey!
Thank you and welcome to the channel ☺️
Lovee the videoo!! What is the habit tracker you use?
Thank you! It’s called Ticktick and I’ll make a video on it soon!
Good video!
Thank you for watching and commenting:)
I hate that programming takes up majority of my day, though it's not that bad and makes money. I'd love to spend my whole days doing different hobbies
Loved the video
Thank you bro 👊
Dayum bro, amazing video! Loved the quality of it! You're gonna make it big on RUclips if you keep up the good work - maybe RUclips can become a new hobby of yours? :)
Oof, sorry. Didn't realize you alr listed RUclips as one of your hobbies. ^^'
Thank you! These type of videos take up a lot of time to make ✨ so I’m currently doing a 30 day challenge of making a video every day for a month. The quality is lower, but I’d like to hear your feedback ☺️
@@koalanof That challenge sounds lovely :)
Wow, great video! How does this have so few views? subbed
Thanks for making my day!:))
@@koalanofWith the way you edited this video and your voice over I fully expected this video to have 100k+ views. Keep up the good work ❤
Man bør alltid sjekke været før man planlegger en skate sesh i Norge. :)) Begynnte å skate 10 dager siden meg selv.
Hahahah det er så sant. Dessverre kan man ikke alltid stole på værmeldingen
how do you use calendar in tick tick? I always seem to be only able to make tasks not events, so i just use google calendar 😭
That was my exact thought when I first started using it! And you’re right, you can only create tasks. So I import my work calendar and have those be events. Because events for me are things that won’t be affected by other circumstances. I’ve gotten used to it
I can't believe there are people with 0 hobbies. How is it even possible??!
Some people just «exist»
i don't understand the premise of wondering which is better, one or many hobbies - as if it weren't purely a matter of one's nature?! and the second premise, that we need to improve and become good at our hobbies... this will happen naturally, if the hobby keeps our interest for long enough, but isn't the whole point of a hobby to relax and enjoy, without pressures of the rest of our activities?! i'm sorry but if you find that people don't watch all the way (as you mentioned in one comment), maybe it's simply the choice of words in your intro, or something simple like that (that you can, if you wish/need, easily improve upon)
can you please put timestamps i'm too bust managing my 50 different hobbies to watvh this whole video 😤
I just added! It's in the description!
What app do you use for habit tracking? 2:34
Ticktick
Gross. Open comments on social media are so dangerous especially when odds are we’d be actual friends in real life some shared interest. (Negative outside influencers - they operate like a global street gang!) I totally practice piano with you. Primo Secundo.
I need some fun interesting but easy hobbies. I am sooo bored 😢😅
That sounds like a good idea for my future video! I’ll think of some for you
I was scrolling fast and read "you need boobies", and I still stopped to click 😂
Everyone needs b… hobbies!
What's the app you're using to track your habits? That looks super useful!
It’s called TickTick and I’ll be making a video about it soon;)
Shopping is an errand not a hobby
I have a feeling a lot of people (especially women) will disagree with you on that
@@koalanof ☺️
Young? Hate to break it to you, but 25+ is Unc Status
where? In Alabama?
Sorry but shopping and gaming are not hobbies. They’re just activities.
Isn’t everything is an activity?
Yes, but not all activities are hobbies!
Hobby: «An activity done regularly in one’s leisure time for pleasure» -oxford dictionary
Nice klipp 🙌It feels like watching an old movie
I’m glad you enjoyed this old movie about hobbies ☺️
I’m early in but I strongly believe that skills are a lot more transferable than one might initially think. Multiple hobbies/skills can be extremely beneficial in that they can fuel each other.
