And then there is also the stuff you accumulate as a result of doing the hobby — quilts, paintings, ceramic pots, race medals, T-shirts, scrapbooks.
Having a plan to organize your hobby is an essential part of sticking to it. Here are some tips. Create a dedicated hobby space.
If space is at a premium in your home, then try to find a closet, cabinet, trunk, shelf, desk or drawer that you can devote exclusively to your hobby. Contain your hobby. Spend some time in hobby shops or organization stores and invest in baskets, jars, easels, plastic bins or whatever you need to stay organized.
Containers keep your hobby from spreading around the house. Many hobbyists love a good label maker to keep track of their supplies. If you need inspiration, there are numerous websites, YouTube videos and Pinterest pages devoted to hobby organization, particularly hobbies that involve crafts and creating things. Make it easy to reach. If exercise is your thing, keep a basket or athletic bag near the door with shoes, a yoga mat, workout clothes, a lock, hair ties or whatever you need to do the workout.
Pam Peake, a fitness and health advocate, once told me about the importance of keeping an organized home to support fitness goals. After I signed up for a ceramics class, I was pretty excited when I made my first pot. But looking at it, I realized that it was going to be the first of many pots.
I decided to take a picture to share on social media, and then I tossed the unfired pot back in the clay barrel to be recycled. I never missed it. If you decide to pursue a creative hobby, have a plan for what to do with your many creations. Keep all of them in your memories by documenting each creation with a photo. Then pick the best projects to keep or give away to friends, and recycle the rest.
Be selective. If your hobby involves collecting things, make sure each item has meaning and value to you. When my mother passed away, I inherited her expansive vase collection. It became more of a burden than a pleasure.
I decided to set aside the vases that really meant something to me or my mom, and I gave away the smaller, less meaningful items. I enjoy the collection much more than before because every item in it is special.
When it doubt, channel your inner Marie Kondo. Cull your supplies: Arts and crafts supplies can really pile up as we discover fun new items to support our hobbies. Every few months, check your supplies and notice the items that you rarely use, and get rid of them.
Art teachers rarely have a budget for supplies, and they are incredibly grateful for extras, even a half-used jar of glitter or a mishmash of scrapbook paper. Running, language lessons, book readings and theater are some examples of minimalist hobbies. Or just keep your hobby out of the house.
Often, art classes allow you to store your supplies and creations in the classroom, and athletic facilities will let you store your gear. Hobbies, by definition, are that special thing you do for yourself just for fun. While you may want to try several new things early on, winnow them down to just one or two you can pursue with passion. Our subscriber-exclusive program will help you organize your home, step-by-step and room-by-room.
