@ButterflyBuddy Hi there! You have some amazing hobbies there, but why do you call them micro?

What do you create in pottery or quilling? Do you have any pictures you can share with us?

@CocoaCasssie I think 🤔 it wasn't an intentional decision to add the micro" thing in the front... probably I instinctively wrote that because I wanted to ease the pressure that we sometimes feel to maintain our hobbies.

And I generally try stuff and jump among them at short intervals of time, that's why they feel micro :)

@ButterflyBuddy Binge-reading is always my go-to! I love the idea of cleaning up storage on your drive as a micro-hobby because I always forget to prioritize that!
