Short answer: 1. No schedule. I learn when I get a chance to work on my hobby project. 2. I end up learning the things that are needed for the project and its large scope 3. The above involves learning about genetics, snails, reproduction, inbreeding, consumable rot, and tons more. Longer answer: For me it used to be easy - I have a hobby project I've been wanting to make for 10 years. The scope is huge and all I ever do is learn new things while working on it. Last year my kitten got very sick and is now disabled. He needs a lot of attention, medication, etc. My schedule pretty much revolves around my work and this fricking stupidly loveable cat. Now there's not as much time for me to work on the hobby project, so not as much time to learn. However, I am constantly learning new things at work too so it's not so bad. I do the best I can but remind myself to slow down and relax sometimes. Having your life revolve around work and this living thing that depends on you can get really stressful, so if I don't work on my project for a day or two and just relax I don't beat myself up over it.
