Adult Hobbies (not that kind)


Listen Later

This month, we dive into Adult Hobbies (not that kind)!


As many baby adults turn to young adults turn to seasoned adults, participation in extracurriculars drops as focus becomes, well, focused on work or maintaining a home or just about anything that is not optional.


Hello? This is a call to action. Get back out there and do something for you that is not at the demand of your employer or school district or roommate. Hobbies are incredibly important for our mental health, yet they are often the first thing dropped when we feel stretched too thin. Why, many of us don't even remember what we like to do in our free time.


Don't worry, we have endless suggestions that range from diamond art to Duolingo to naming the birds that frequent your feeder. Okay, maybe not all of them are good suggestions, but still.


Have you heard of the 5-Hobby Rule? According to some, we should have hobbies that meet each of these categories:

  • One to make you money
  • One to keep you in shape
  • One to be creative
  • One to build knowledge
  • One to evolve your mindset
  • While we agree that the creators of this guideline have more free time than us, it does make some sense.


    Today's Episode was not sponsored by Nippies! Nippies are the perfect way to keep your personal thermometers at bay.
