IMO to take this benefit to a bit of a higher level, it also helps to have enough interests to bounce around between them. Especially when one interest may become annoyingl or irritating with too much focus. I also noticed there's a very risky delay in the subjective monitoring/signaling loop which maintains conscious interest in a hobby. If the original, reliable interest signal isn't really there anymore, but one acts as if it still is, the result can be a burnout/workaholic effect with hobbies, and it can be more devastating there than at work. The mind will additionally tend to try to switch between blaming self and blaming hobby, as it reconciles precious identity and social signals and so on. This in spite of the fact that it could just be that the person who previously enjoyed the hobby didn't take enough breaks.
