I prioritize my interests and try to reevaluate what I'm doing periodically. This is by no means a serious process for me. I have a note where I have the things I want to do listed, sorted by priority in descending order, and I may not actually look at it again for a while. The priority is determined by my level of interest, probable duration, potential cost, potential return, and whether it creates life opportunities. That means some of those interests will never be done, but that's probably a good thing. When I find an interest is either taking longer than expected or my satisfaction is declining, I think back to my list and go "ok, maybe this actually isn't the most optimal thing I could be doing" and switch to something else.
