Hey, so as the title says: How do you guys balance gaming and other hobbies in your freetime? :) Aside from Gaming i also like many other things like Reading, drawing, coding, … But usually when i get home from work I just turn on my PC and game until going to sleep. I really wanna read more books and so on but usually i cant motivate myself and then just game all the time.

Any tips how you guys keep the balance between hobbies? :)

    I don’t game anymore, but I do read. I find the trick is to make space for it. I read via audiobook while I walk in the mornings to see the sun and keep some minimal activity, and I read on my ereader from the time I get in bed until I’m ready to go to sleep. The in bed reading is usually only 15 or 20 mins, but it adds up. I knocked out 25 books last year, and not like 200 or 300 page books either (besides 2 or 3).
