Mine is mapping. I am a big OpenStreetMap contributor and I have mapped many towns near me that were previously completely unmapped.

    Picking up new hobbies, investing in them far beyond what would be considered a casual interest, then getting bored or disillusioned with the community after 6-24 months.

    See

    • Foam dart blasters
    • yo yos
    • magic the gathering (This was like 15 years)
    • coin collecting
    • juggling
    • pocket knives
    • archery
    • running
    • Currently working on 3D printing, though that’s been more of a means to get back into foam blasters because it’s far cheaper to print your own blasters and mod parts.

      I’m currently in this cycle as well. Ever since getting a job I don’t have the time and energy to consistently do something every day, but I do have a lot more money. Given this lack of energy and consistent time, I just go until the period of rapid learning stops and then I become overambitious and lose interest. I think I mostly understand what causes it, but I’m unable to fix it. Once I see what “the pro’s” do I become way to ambitious and ruin the fun.

      At least I’ve been able to keep up running as a hobby, which beats sitting still all day.
