Are the hobbies merely waste of time? Is it that, the hobbies are to be pursued only when a person is bored or have lots of spare time? At least, the general conception suggest this logic only.
But research and studies related to hobbies have suggested that hobbies are much more than mere wastage of the time. Noble prize winner, Howard Temin's research is significant in this regard. It is popularly known as 'Temin Effect'. It basically talks about how the intense practice of a particular hobby, which is generally unrelated to one's job, helps in establishing inter-disciplinary, cross disciplinary connections in one's work. And such inter-disciplinary knowledge and skills help in taking quick and informed decisions. It also helps in optimising the things which are continuously conflicting with each other.
Thus many CEOs like David Soloman, CEO of Goldman Sachs, is extremely passionate about DJing and follow this hobby very intensely. Sachin Tendulkar is passionate about old Hindi songs, apart from his core love for Cricket.
So hobbies are not merely wastage of time but it turns out in yielding tremendous professional benefits.
