How do you balance multiple hobbies at once?

Hey everyone, juggling several hobbies can be both exciting and challenging. I often find myself torn between creative pursuits like painting, playing music, and reading, along with physical activities like hiking and sports. The trick is in prioritizing and scheduling dedicated time for each passion without feeling overwhelmed. I use a flexible planner and sometimes combine hobbies to create synergy, such as sketching while listening to music. I’d love to learn how you manage to balance multiple interests. What strategies or routines help you indulge in all your hobbies without sacrificing your well-being?

I try to watch movies whenever I can, but also find time to get exercise and see my family. I still play games here and there, but I find many of the newer releases just aren't as great as they were over 20 years ago.

Going forward, I plan to just use forums maybe once a month, like during the last weekend or so, because the activity has slumped on them, and I have other things to crack on with which are important.

There is rarely any news on survival horror games these days, and I don't really donate to YouTubers any more, mostly because they remove their streams a lot, so it feels kind of pointless to keep sending them money.

I achieve balance by not putting much pressure on myself in handling all of them at once. I focus more on ensuring that I enjoy any of them as at when I have the time to do so, and that is just it.

Rather than pursuing multiple disconnected interests, I've intentionally chosen hobbies that create synergy. My cooking benefits from the herb garden, which provides subjects for my photography, which documents recipes for my blog. The interconnection creates natural motivation to maintain all elements.

I have so many different things I enjoy doing away from my work but I will admit, I am terrible at balancing multiple hobbies at the same time. I am often greeted with having to make a decision on which hobby I want to take part in today but due to me not having a lot of time to take part in most hobbies, that can leave me faced with a difficult decision.
