Getting a Screen Free Hobby

Lawyers Who Launch

If you have been with us from the beginning, you already know that we love hobbies. In episode three, we talked about making time for a hobby in the episode “Who Has Time For Hobbies.” This week we are sharing our thoughts on why a screen free hobby might just be a good idea for you, along with a bunch of ideas for your next hobby.

There are so many distractions happening on our phones, tablets, and computers. And so many of our practices now include meetings and appearances that also appear on screens. If your hobby is one that you need technology to do, you may want to at least consider silencing notifications and staying off of other apps. However, we really would love for you to try something totally off line.

A hobby allows you to do something active with your mind while also resting and recharging at the same time. The amazing thing that happens when we give ourselves that mental break we suddenly become more creative and productive.

In the last 18 months we have been in our homes like never before. As the world continues to open up again it can be very hard to get out there. We have missed that in personal human connection and now many of us are not in the habit of looking outside of our homes for activities. Hobbies can be an amazing gateway to a world very different from your profession.

Another great aspect of trying a hobby is that is does not have to be perfect. Hobbies are inherently activities done for pleasure. If you are working so hard to make it “perfect” or you are frustrated because you cannot get it quite right - maybe put it down and try something new.
