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

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this, but your life will never be truly fulfilling if all you have is work and your relationships.

Both of those things are really crucial, but you need something that's just about you.

You need more flavor.

You need more excitement.

That is what hobbies are for.

Especially in our 20s, there is this very important developmental transition we experience where work becomes the predominant activity in our lives.

And naturally, it takes over a lot of our identity.

And that makes sense.

If you're spending eight hours plus at your job every day, that is a big chunk of your time that is going to be consumed with work.

Whatever it is you're doing, data entry, talking to people, solving problems, helping people, moving things, whatever it is.

There was a really great article from Yale University that spoke about how this is particularly a problem for those of us who are relatively early on in our careers.

Because there's that implicit fear of failure that drives us to center our lives on work and achieving what is expected of us.

This intense like drive and focus, it forces our identity to ultimately become synonymous with what we do for a living.

I remember when I was working as a consultant, like someone asked me like two years into working this job.

What do you do for fun?

And I had to really think about it.

And then I had to make it up because at that point, work was everything to me.

Yes, I would like see my friends.

I would go out for drinks.

I would go out for dinner.
