So Little Time, Too Many Interests!

I have too many interests and hobbies. Often I envy those who maintain their interest in a single subject. They can really spend the time to obtain mastery of that one subject. I keep bouncing between subjects, never able to focus my efforts on one thing for any significant amount of time. I simply like too many things.

Here is the current list of my interests. These are things that I have cycled into in the past and that often cross my mind as I’m driving, etc. Also, these are things I would gladly spend time on. I don’t include going to the gym, because to me that’s more of a chore and not a way I would normally opt to spend my time.
