Do hobbies have to be successful? IMHO the time is for restoring your sense of well-being. There are loads of happy (but terrible) amateur artists, musicians, dancers, DJs, woodworkers, model-makers, novelists, photographers, Wordpress website builders, RPi hobbyists, medieval French students. Everywhere is full of half-assembled or half-disassembled clocks, airbrush compressors, and that PDP-11 someone planned to restore and it's fine. The website and the book have successfully distracted you from the TV for a while. Now they're making you feel bad. That's not the function of a hobby. Maybe it's time to find something else.
