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

So they are based on watching TV.

They are based on collecting things that we have to buy, shopping, video games, movies, rather than production-based hobbies, production-based activities, things that are about creating something new, expressing yourself, expending energy, giving something back.

And it's not to say that certain hobbies are better or worse than others or like more pure.

I want to talk about how we can make our hobbies a priority, even in our busy lives, even when we're burnt out, even when it's so much easier to like turn on the TV or scroll on TikTok.
