My first challenge will be about dedicating time to a hobby. I have tons of interests but barely find the time to really get anything done. So the next month I will dedicate my time to crochet one (or at least one half of a) piece of my choice every day and see if I can get as many items finished as I planned.
I started crochet because I stumbled across a book with patterns for sweets and candy. I’m not so much into making clothes or doily but little pieces of fruit, vegetables and sweets are the things I like. These pieces are mostly small and made relatively fast (for someone not so good at crochet as I am) and you get nice results.
Only problem is, that my life is not boring enough to find the time to do such things as sit around for hours making needlework. To really get several pieces together I will have to plan my next 30 days very carefully and really find the time to finish them in order to complete this challenge.
Right now I’m planning which pieces I want to make, what colors of wool I will need and how much time each piece will take. The minimum will be 15 pieces in 30 days but maybe I can cram in some more.
What do I expect as a result?
Well, for once I will have at least 15 finished pieces I always wanted to make which is surely a whole lot more than I would have ever made otherwise. But more importantly, I will have to use my daily time more efficiently to make room for a hobby. This time it may be crochet, but the principle is universal. My day consists largely of work and in my spare time I’m rarely at home. Either I work out, go shopping, meet friends or have any other obligations, so making room for a hobby will be the most difficult part.
If I master the challenge I will know how hard it is to realize this. Is it easy for someone with a full schedule to squeeze in one more hobby or isn’t it worth the effort to try? So bare with me and maybe this helps you decide if you would try something similar yourself.
