Are hobbies a waste?

[bestwriter]

Most of us have hobbies. As long as one is financially independent I suppose one can indulge in one's hobbies but that may not be the case when time is spent to earn money that is required for one's survival.

I converted my hobby into a business

It’s only a waste if you’re either not enjoying it, or you’re struggling in your life because of your hobby.

It isn’t the most financially sound thing all the time, but if you’re enjoying it, enjoy it. You can’t take money with you.

Nah, they're not a waste, we all need enjoyment in our lives.

I love having hobbies!! I'm never bored and I find it satisfying to accomplish things through my skills. I love doing arts and crafts of all sorts, I love to hike, I love to sing, play the flute, so many things.

Nah, they're not a waste, we all need enjoyment in our lives.

And even if they were, it would be time worth wasting.

Hobbies are far from a waste; they are the spices that enrich our lives. Each hobby adds a unique flavor to our daily routine. They provide a creative outlet, a break from the hustle and bustle, and can even lead to new friendships and opportunities.

Hobbies aren’t a waste of time, we all need them. With how busy life is for most people, having a hobby, even a small one, is important.
I would only see hobbies as bad when someone becomes so obsessed that it turns dangerous or negatively affects others while ignoring everything else.

In my own opinion, I'll disagree with the idea that hobbies are a waste of time. They aren't! As a matter of fact, they are an essential element of maintaining work-life balance. Pursuing the activities you are passionate about outside of your work activities would help you to recharge and focus. In short, it would make you more productive and even more efficient in your career. Surprised? No don't need to because there are numerous hobbies that can be developed into valuable skills and which could be applied to our professional life.

My hobbies can never be considered a waste of time. This is because it's something I enjoy so much. Football is my favourite hobby. It's why whenever I'm watching football matches, it makes me so so happy.
