Do you think there's any overlapping benefit from increasing your hobby complexity to the same level as your work complexity?
I wonder if high performance individuals commit to a lifestyle that has high performance across the board and reap a certain kind of structure or skills increase from doing so.
- JohnFen 7y agoThat's a really interesting question. When I look over my hobbies, they are all pretty much as complex and demanding as my job as a software dev. But from a very young age, I always preferred complex activities (I suspect that's a big part of why I was drawn to software engineering).
