Depends on the hobby. I tend to collect hobbies and then grow bored of them, then return to them a while later.
I'll become absolutely obsessed with learning about "hobby x", and spend two months basically getting as close to an expert on it as I can with self-teaching. (Video Editing, filmmaking, screenwriting, 3D modelling for flight simulators, Graphic Design, etc...)
Then I'll grow bored and move onto a new obsession from the above list, focus on that long enough that at least 25% of my knowledge of the previous obsession vanishes and I have to relearn a bunch the next time that obsession rolls around.
I've been told that's possibly ADHD, but since I suffer from depression I'll take my bursts of obsessiveness over lack of any motivation any day.
This is me!!!!!! Especially the relearning part ๐ Side bonus is I'm really good at reading docs(programming) now!
Reading (good) programming documentation is half the battle, or maybe 3/4ths, hahaha! I also remember when someone took the time to go in depth with the debugger and increased my programming efficiency by about 75%, good times, wow! Now I can only write code at 225% efficiency ๐คฃ.
