I have too many hobbies.

Amateur radio operator, yoga, volunteer firefighter, vintage computer/typewriter/camera collecting and restoration, film photography and development, weightlifting, astrophotography, motorcycling, roller skating, ballroom and lindy hop dancing, and bromeliad and orchid growing.

My personal calendar is more crowded than my professional.

All you really need is one hobby but I really like all of that stuff and most of them don't take too much time, and most of them are cheap!

For rollerskating all you need is a pair of skates and a clear day. For camera collecting all you need is time on the weekend to stroll around musty old thrift stores.

Hell, dancing is the most expensive and time consuming hobby I have. Ticket fees add up.

Besides, staring at a computer screen eight hours a day leaves me tons of energy when off the clock.

If you're feeling frustrated by overwork, just pick something, anything, enjoyable that doesn't involve the internet or your phone, and do it until it becomes a routine.
