Playing guitar and Exercising
I have many hobbies that require me to learn or refine what skills I already have. My hobbies of playing guitar and skateboarding require me to constantly teach myself new techniques while at the same time refining what I already know. My hobby of exercising requires me to have a set schedule of what I am supposed to accomplish in terms of personal goals and benchmarks while also requiring me to have a disciplined mindset.
