How can you have 1000+ hours in a single game, work on a personal project for 10 months, spend 4 years writing a novel?

    Take breaks.

    A hobby is supposed to be fun, or relaxing. Step back for a bit when it stops. (This is why good hobbies frequently make bad jobs.)

    ETA: it’s also not important that hobbies be perfect or even useful, take the stress of perfection out of it. enjoy the imperfection.

      Great point!!
      I think we assume a lot of the +1000hr folks are better when in actuality they probably just enjoy doing it whether good or bad at it!
