pastime-hobby cycles
Inspired by Akhil's Hobbies vs Pastimes and Ishan's Your hobby sucks 🌶.
One man's hobby is another man's pastime and vice versa. How can either of yours be treated as the other by you or someone else? Can revealed bridges between different interpretations be maximized for mutual gain?
With how often people separate or interchange hobbies and pastimes, how symbiotic can they be? Purported pastimes like watching films, reading books, and listening to music can encourage hobby-like behavior. Taking in sensory inputs and thinking about them can be construed as a form of doing after all. Let augmented modes like close reading and critical listening emerge novel questions, predictions, and revelations to chew on. Keep your information architecture in check with just enough notes, highlights, and other critical signposts for later use. Such robust activity, conducted within your mind and through your body, also fuels associated hobbies like curating film lists, reviewing books, and rating albums. Close such cycles as fast as you can to see how far you progress. How much can this frame of synthesis enrich other purported pastimes like blogging, eating, or even vacationing?
