How do you know when a hobby has become too time-consuming

[HarrisTurner]

Sure! Here are five different responses to that question:

"I guess when I start ditching plans with friends or skipping out on chores just to do my hobby, that's a sign it's getting a bit out of hand."

[JamalMayo]

"When I find myself stressing over it instead of enjoying it, that's when I know I've crossed the line. Hobbies should be fun, not a job!"

[ItzayanaBryant]

"If I’m spending more time on my hobby than on things that actually matter—like work or family—then I think it’s time to reevaluate."

[VincentBenson]

"When I start feeling guilty about how much time I’m spending on it, that’s a red flag. Hobbies should be a break from reality, not another source of stress."
