Too
many hobbies can lead to a lot of stress producing clutter. Do you have a wide range of interests? Chances are that if you do, you often change
focus from one to another often and quickly.
While it is good to have variety in our lives, the rapid change and
varied hobbies often lead to clutter in our physical environment. As you take up different projects and acquire
materials for them, the old usually get left behind, unfinished and without a
home.
The
key to effectively managing your interests and the stuff they produce is to go
for quality over quantity. It is better
to have a few hobbies you can manage and keep under control than many that
dominate your space. Additionally, set
deadlines for interests that include project outcomes, like a scrapbook, a
piece of knitting etc. The deadline
should be realistic. Some things take
months to complete. If you keep postponing
the deadline then you know the project is not important enough to make time
for. Prioritize what is most important
to you so you don't end up with many interests and not enough time.
