Chore or Hobby?

Posted on April 11, 2025April 10, 2025

I started blogging as a hobby.

I want it to remain a hobby.

I love reading. It’s my hobby.

I hope it doesn’t change into a chore.

When A Hobby Becomes A Chore

A hobby can become a chore.

When you overcommit,

pressure to perform with perfection.

When you have set unrealistic goals,

that are exhausting you.

I do not want my hobbies to turn into chores.

So, to prevent this from happening,

I will make realistic goals.

I will take breaks if needed,

and enjoy whatever am doing.

    I love reading also. It relaxes me and I learn new things and new words. Reading is fun and informative, so, I pray it never turns into chore for either if us.

    Preach. There’s such a fine line between passion and pressure—one minute you’re in the flow, the next you’re grumbling at your screen like it owes you something. I love that you’re setting boundaries to keep the joy in it. Realistic goals and guilt-free breaks? That’s the secret sauce. We don’t owe anyone perfection—just presence.

    Started blogging after my 13k social media accounts got hacked. I kinda think blogging is secure for growing a huge audience. Check out my music

    I agree. If it becomes a stressor, I will take a day, or so, off.

    Very smart! I read quite a few books Jan-Mar. I think I burned myself out a bit. This month, instead of reading 14-15 books, my goal is much more realistic – five. It’s nearly mid-month, and so far, I have two under my belt. You are right – realistic goals!
