The Psychology of your 20s · 423. You need more hobbies...here's how you do it · 30 May 2026 podcast

And, you know, we don't need like a study to tell us that like intuitively humans need recreational time.

They need things to care about.

But I do think it's really important that I remind you.

I'm just going to rattle off some other benefits.

I know I've probably convinced you by now, but just quickly.

Hobbies improve your focus.

You know, even if you think I don't have time for this, I'm so busy with work or school, like I'm not going to do my hobbies.

I'm not going to go for a swim.

I'm not going to go to the gym.

I'm not going to do this, that, whatever.

actually setting aside time to do those things will mean that you perform better anyways.

They make you less stressed.

They make you more in touch with your authentic self.

And like depending on whether the activity is solo or group based as well, it can make you less lonely.

It's a valuable part of our routine.

It makes us more flexible.

Every single thing points to us needing more time to do this.

Scary finding, though, from the last few years is that this generation, you know, you and me, people born after 1995, we are not picking up hobbies the same way people used to.

We're seeing a steady decline in hobbyists, the people who have a lot of hobbies, who make hobbies a part of who they are.

And a lot of our hobbies are based on consumption.
