  • Da regt sich ein Grab und ein anderes dann: Sie kommen hervor, ein Weib da, ein Mann, In weißen und schleppenden Hemden.

    Das reckt nun, es will sich ergetzen sogleich, Die Knöchel zur Runde, zum Kranze,

    So arm und so jung, und so alt und so reich; Doch hindern die Schleppen am Tanze.

    Und weil hier die Scham nun nicht weiter gebeut, Sie schütteln sich alle, da liegen zerstreut Die Hemdlein über den Hügeln.

    Nun hebt sich der Schenkel, nun wackelt das Bein, Gebärden da gibt es vertrackte;

    Dann klippert’s und klappert’s mitunter hinein, Als schlüg‘ man die Hölzlein zum Takte.














  • Obviously I have no idea if this works for you, but for me, it comes down to this:

    • The Cycle of Hobbies I jump from one to another without any schedule or plan. Oftentimes I take interest in a new variation of one of my hobbies, but other times I just pick up old projects that (for no apparent reason) are interesting again. But(!) I (by pure chance) have a pool of hobbies that are different enough, which makes switching between them easier.

    • enjoy it while it lasts I stopped caring about finishing a video game. I may pick it up in the future (or not) but that does not lessen the enjoyment it’s giving me in this very moment.

    • stop it, if it starts to suck I am that I learned to stop reading a book I do not like, to stop watching a series I don’t enjoy or to box a project that becomes to tedious to finish. If it becomes interesting again in a few months or years, I will gladly try it again but if not, it probably wasn’t worth my time anyway.

    So long story short:

    I burn through hobbies, but I can say with confidence based on experience (and a pinch of hop) that the ones that really got to me will come back eventually.
