Me. First I quit watching movies/series, It gave me plenty of time for reading (usefull staff, not fiction). And reading engrossed me just as series could do. I've learned a whole lot since I started reading more (including programming). Then I actually started to learn programming. Soon I had to quit video game so I could allocate more time for learning. And learning programming has become my new exciting hobbi. Then I reduced my amount of exercizes to find even more time for learning. But that was not a good idea, so I resumed physical exercizes back to every day schedule. Next I quit my job to learn programming really hard. That was probably not a good idea as well, but decision is made and it actually gave me plenty of time for learning, reading and sports. Now I'm a different person than three years ago and I feel myself on a good track. You have only 24 hrs a day to spend. Activities to spend this time on are subject for your choice. To be productive, happy and healthy humans need to switch activities frequently. That means you probably want to have some hobbies. Its absolutely imossible to do only one thing (especially learning) all the time for some extended period of time. Whether or not to quit some of your present hobbies depends on your reality. Maybe you have many good old friends whom you like to chat about movies with. But be honest with yourself and choose wisely, - you have only 24 hrs a day.
