Hobby Paralysis?

[Green_Elite_Cab]

Thanks Guys, this has helped a lot.

I guess its just been killing me since I haven't been able to get much done in it since late September.

.... aka, being 100% unproductive (which hurts to admit). ...

May be that is the misunderstanding. Doing your hobby is intended to be "unproductive". It may or may not result in something to show but that is not important. People that press them self to show remarkable achievements in hobby (or sport) are often compensating failure to success in the real life. Do not go into that trap. Manage the real life and be totally relaxed with your hobby. It is one of the very few area where achieving nothing might be just fine.

You're definitely right on that one. Thats half of how I started the hobby when I was in the 7th-8th grade and stressed out. And I Definitely pick big projects that might be to much for me to handle.

Its just that when I mean unproductive, I mean in anything. I'm literally just sitting there. A few times I've picked up a video game and tinkered with that, but that is about it. The entire time I'm doing nothing, I'm thinking about fun things (model railroading or otherwise) I could be doing that moment. I want to do those things, but there is like some mental block in my head.

I'm guessing that last semester must have really burned me out!
