Mine is perhaps not well characterized as a hobby because it has religious meaning to me, but I spend a lot of time on it (10 hours per week on average, sometimes more). I'm very involved in my church and volunteer in a leadership position in our local congregation. I have the opportunity to help prepare weekly Sunday services, plan service projects and activities, and work with youth aged 11-18. It's extremely rewarding and keeps me grounded. My day job is in deep tech working with machine learning and robotics at a startup, and the industry is constantly shifting with rapid advancements in the tech, unpredictable markets, plus the stress of being early stage, so it's incredibly refreshing to have part of my life be very stable and grounded, and provides me purpose and perspective on those things that matter most.
