How much time?

[Acetea]

How much time a day would you consider is to much to spend on your hobbies and pass-time activities?
And would you call "several hours" as an answer to my previous question an addiction?

I think having hobbies is healthy and people shouldn't feel guilty participating in things that they like. I would say as long as your hobby isn't keeping you from living life, working and things you need to do to survive, then it's fine to spend 3+ hours playing video games. I think the real danger is when hobbies become an addiction or it's preventing you from living in the real world.

You put it brilliantly. I could't agree more.

Depends on the hobby. If it helps you to be productive or if it does not or even if it inhibits productivity. More time for things that encourage productivity.

Well, does improving your knowledge about Chinese/Korean/Japanese cliche is productive? Cause I read mangas, manwha and manhua multiple hours a day

Better than playing video games or getting drunk.

I had a nice workshop built in my backyard at the onset of the covid pandemic. I have lots of hobbies and interests that can keep me in there all day, and everyday. It has a bathroom, refrigerator, micro wave, coffee maker. TV, a sound system, and furnace for the snow and cold of winter. It is plumbed with water, gas, and electric (110 and 220 volt). I have no need to ever leave the workshop.
