My hobbies have stayed pretty consistent over time. I read regularly, play video games, and go rock climbing (indoor bouldering) whenever I can (and my wallet can afford). They’re the things I come back to even when work and school take up most of my attention. Reading gives me a way to slow down and focus on something outside of my own routine. Video games have been an easy and fun way to stay connected to friends. Rock climbing sits somewhere in between—it’s physical, technical, and forces me to be present in a way few other activities do. More recently, I started going to the gym with some of my coworkers. It’s not necessarily a hobby per se, but it’s become a consistent part of my daily routine that’s a good mix of accountability, socialization, and staying on top of personal health. Like most things right now, these activities fit into the margins of a busy schedule, but they’ve been important in keeping my life balanced.
