Especially with reading, I usually don't make time for it, but then I'll go on a reading spree. I wonder why that rotation exists...Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714023966007153802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922960322981297933.post-60860374512824971302013-01-09T18:40:36.218-07:002013-01-09T18:40:36.218-07:00Great post, and interesting thoughts!

I like your idea about "half-lives" of activities, but I also think you're right that "one would continue doing the new thing if he or she liked it enough." Even when I leave one project or activity, I usually make my rounds and come back to it again. Maybe not all people are like this, but I seem to rotate interests--one summer I'm all into perfecting my guitar skills, then by Fall I'm working on illustration. Come Winter I'm reading education philosophy, and after a while I pick up my guitar again, etc. But I seem to always stick with the same basic interests, even though I leave them and come back to them.
