How to Manage Multiple Interests?

Time management isn’t about working like a robot. Think of it as budgeting for your dreams.

I started using Google Calendar and felt like a wizard conjuring free time.

For example, I blocked mornings for video editing, but evenings remained open for hobbies like playing the violin.

Story: One day, I scheduled just 20 minutes for writing, and guess what? That session birthed an idea for my most-watched video. Your turn—what’s your 20 minutes of magic?

When I started college, I had to cook my meals—terrifying, right?

But I turned a chore into a craft. Instead of rushing through it, I learned knife skills, explored spices, and now?

My spaghetti is legendary!

Lesson: Find joy in routine tasks and level them up.

What could you transform? Your morning coffee? Your commute? Life’s little moments are opportunities to learn.

Here’s a confession: I used to hop from interest to interest like a squirrel chasing shiny nuts.

Soap-making, wood carving, ultra-realistic sketching—you name it, I wanted it. But after feeling constantly inadequate, I realized the trick: focus on what aligns with your core goals and save other dreams for later.

My mantra? I can do it all—just not all at once. What shiny object is distracting you today?

Picture this: you’re climbing a steep mountain.

At first, it’s exciting, but soon your legs ache, and doubts creep in. That’s the valley of despair, where most people quit. I’ve been there with hobbies like writing and thumbnail design.

But pushing through taught me this: every struggle is proof you’re growing. Example?

When I first practiced violin, my neighbor’s dog howled. Today? They listen. What mountain are you climbing? Keep going!

Scrolling Instagram can feel like wandering into a museum of greatness. Soap-makers, musicians, artists—everyone seems a master.

I’d look at my skills and feel like a potato. Then I reframed it: instead of envy, I let their success inspire me.

My advice? Celebrate others' creativity and use it to fuel your journey.

Next time you scroll, ask yourself: what’s one thing I can create today?

Think of Da Vinci—he painted, studied anatomy, and invented machines. Was he overwhelmed?

Maybe, but he balanced exploration with focus. Today, I manage my love for writing, lifting weights, and making videos by assigning each a time slot.

For instance, I lift weights during my midday break, turning physical activity into mental clarity.

Try it: Mix passion with practicality—what's one skill you can fit into your current schedule?
