How to Distinguish Between a Passion and a Hobby
3:41:15 2023-10-04 1289

Part 1: Examining Your Time Use


1- Pay attention to what occupies your mind most often. When you are driving, trying to fall asleep, or exercising, notice what you think about the most. If you find yourself constantly thinking about an activity when you aren’t doing it, that may be a passion.

  • Hobbies generally only occupy your mind when you are doing them, or on occasion otherwise. Passions stick with you all day and you’re always thinking about some aspect of them.
  • If you are always looking for garage sales and thrift shops, checking your online seller accounts, and trying to find buyers, buying and selling used goods is a passion of yours.

                                          

2- Evaluate how you spend your time. Pay attention to what you do during a given day or a whole week. Notice what you do most frequently or for the longest amount of time in each session. The activities that you spend the most time on are likely to be passions rather than hobbies.

  • For example, let’s say in the course of a week you play guitar every day, shoot baskets twice, write bits of poetry four or five times and play Xbox once. Guitar and poetry are top contenders to be passions, while basketball and gaming are hobbies.

 

3- Take notice of time seeming to pass quickly. After you do an activity, check whether you looked at the clock recently. When you pursue a passion, you don’t notice that a lot of time goes by. You’re so engaged that time passes quickly. If you check the time a lot, it’s probably a hobby.


4- Notice when you blow off responsibilities for an activity. Look at your work and home responsibilities and see if anything consistently gets in the way of them. If you tend to pursue a certain activity over other things that feel like work, it’s because you’d rather do your passion.

    • Say you are working on a research project. Instead of reading up on the topic, you spend an hour taking the perfect picture for the presentation. Photography is your passion.
    • If your dirty dishes pile up for a week because you spend an hour reading, it’s because you’re passionate about reading.
