Which Hobby Makes You Lose Track of Time?

You know that hobby where you sit down “just for 10 minutes” and suddenly it’s been two hours? 😅

For me, it’s reading or going down a music rabbit hole. And when I’m travelling and exploring a new place — especially trying local food — I completely lose sense of time. Even cooking something simple after a long day can feel oddly absorbing.

What’s that one hobby for you? Writing? Gaming? Gardening? Photography?

Curious to see what makes everyone disappear into their own little world for a while.

For me, it’s definitely writing or reorganising something creative. I’ll tell myself I’m just going to fix one small thing, and then I look up and so much time has passed. It’s one of the few things that fully pulls me out of my head and into the moment.

That sounds so satisfying actually. Do you plan what you’re writing, or is it more spontaneous?
