[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 6742427, member: 6802604"] As other posters have already hinted at, this is a far more complex question than simply "is it too much?" You need to analyze a few different aspects of your life as a whole in order to be able to answer a question that seems simple on the surface, but clearly isn't once you start looking deeper. First and foremost would be to figure out whether or not dedicating this much time to one hobby is negatively impacting other areas of your life. And when doing this you need to be honest with yourself, because as soon as you start trying to make excuses for anything that raises a red flag then the exercise becomes pointless. It certainly possible of course that you simply have a lot of leisure time and have decided to dedicate almost all of it to a single hobby, so there's no need to over-analyze, but the fact your asking the question on a message board to begin with may be an indicator that you already think there's an issue, regardless of how much seriousness you're placing on it. Speaking solely for myself, I can manage about one long session a month. But I'm also married, have a child and own a home on top of having a full time job and other hobbies I dedicate my time to. Like I said though, every persons situation is going to be different and it's only by looking at your own that you'll be able to answer this question for yourself. [/QUOTE]
