planning heavily as a distraction, and trying to enjoy my life as it is

Tweet

So I've been making monthly, weekly, and daily schedule (or to do lists) for the last few months, for several reasons. 1 because I can't remember things well 2 because I almost always do things if they are on my list 3 to make sure everything, especially cleaning, is done on a regular basis I have had a rough time lately with obsessions, sometimes doing research on a single subject for hours each day. This is "normal" for me, and I am bipolar. So scheduling helps me limit how much time I spend on a single thing. A few weeks ago I decided enough is enough, and I won't study any of those topics ( conspiracies, esoteric subjects, paranormal etc) because my obsessions get worse when I do. So I started a new hobbie, oil pastels. This doesn't take up enough time, so I am looking for new hobbies now. I am planning to make dolls again, but I need a lot more materials before I can even start. I would appreciate any hobby suggestions from anyone. Thank you.
