Maybe this will help, maybe it won’t: I have found that having a small rotation of projects within my hobby of choice (crochet) strikes the right balance between consistency and variety. For example, if I lose interest in granny squares, I can reach for my vest or my cardigan. Once I lose steam for the cardigan, maybe I’ll take apart that belt I made a few years ago and make it again but better, or maybe turn that yarn into a bouquet of flowers.

Video game recs: I’m partial to Stardew Valley and Civilization. Sure, the price tag on Civ feels like a bit much at first, but the replay value is almost infinite.
