  • Learning to code
  • Board game nights
  • Running / training for a race

Screen time swap

Cut your screen time in half and you'd gain 8 more hours per week — that's 32h total for hobbies.

The 30-minute rule

Even 30 minutes a day = 3.5 hours/week of hobby time. Consistency beats marathon sessions every time.
