How do you work on your hobbies if you have obligations? (lemmy.world)

I just get too overwhelmed if I have any important life things and can't start working on a hobby project because I'm too afraid I wouldn't have the time to finish it or that it might hurt my real obligations. I've never been able to balance these two.

Not something I've really mastered myself. With ADHD I tend to throw myself into hobbies regardless of real obligations. I can share from an outside perspective is that the key is planning and scheduling. Having a designated hobby time and hobby space can be a real help. Even putting in 2 hours a week you'll still be able to progress on projects without putting a huge demand on your time. Just block out the time with alarms or a calendar and dedicate that time to your hobby.
