How can you have 1000+ hours in a single game, work on a personal project for 10 months, spend 4 years writing a novel?

    I have ongoing hobbies like training my dog and doing garden-stuff during summer but other than that, I switch between gaming, reading, writing, drawing and making pixel art. I’ve had the same hobbies for years and must have spent several 1000 hours doing all of them by now but suspect I’d have burned out on everything if I didn’t switch around. I like making things but I’m not trying to make any of it into a side-hustle - I have plenty work at work - so there is no pressure to keep doing a particular hobby when it begins to feel stale.
