Hobby Sprints - The 2024 Plan
So how did 2023 go?
At this time last year, I did some deep soul searching about how to get out of a bit of a hobby rut and get more done. This involved taking a good look in the mirror, understanding my motivations, and re-thinking how I would approach my hobby. I set this out in a project here.
Key to that plan was giving myself a simple goal of hobbying on as many days as possible. No rules about amount of time on each day, nor any specific output goals.
The result was that I hobbied on 145 days. I only counted working on miniatures, not preparing for games, playing games or updating projects etc. Sounds quite impressive, that’s basically hobby every other day, but if I am honest the overall output didn’t increase from the previous year.
Part of the reason for the output was that I had some large armies that I was working on. I put quite a bit of work into them, but the projects were nowhere near finished. So I shouldn’t feel too bad about that. But on the flip side, the large armies are a bit of a slog and I think motivation suffered as a result. I didn’t really leverage my “hobby sampler” approach that I said I needed at the start of the year.
So, not a bad year by any means, but not revolutionary.
