Could you please share few and do you have enough time to enjoy your hobby in timely manner or you miss the opportunity due to project's over loading?

Yard work.
Which in this case means clearing five acres of overgrown land... Cutting down trees. Stump removal. Boulder removal. Hole filling. Etc... Oh yeah and mowing season is back again already.... :-) Bought a mini-excavator last year to help with the stump removal, but it still goes slowly.

Motorcycling. Have a 3-day getaway to the mountains planned for Memorial Day weekend (at the end of May) with a small group of friends.

Cars. Have a supercharger kit sitting in the garage to install on my Corvette (one of these days) Previous car was a V6 to V8 conversion, followed by a turbo install.

Travel. Brazil once a year. Want to work in a trip this year to somewhere else too. Somewhere European.

Home remodeling and maintenance. Flooring, trim, lighting. Slowly making progress on a 1987 log cabin I bought 3 years ago. Five bedroom four bath. Fixed two a/c units (relay board and a fan), replaced a water heater, fixed a refrigerator (circuit board). Staining, sealing, etc. Still have a long list of to-do's I'm chipping away at.

Dabbling in Portuguese language a little.

Thought about getting a boat, but after seeing all this written down, I understand now why I keep putting it off. :-)

John, this is very interesting to see all those activities I guess you would need AON network diagram and CPM to schedule all your activities.

Well you know that old saying about the shoemaker's children have no shoes... :-)

I tend to just work on whatever comes to mind that day. But self-imposed deadlines are when things really get done. Reminds me of Cesar Abeid and his "Life is a Project" approach.

On the other hand, a hobby can sometimes be a way to have less structure for a while. :-)

ADVERTISEMENTS

I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
