Ever wonder what super successful people do when they aren’t working? They have hobbies, just like us. And it is no coincidence that these people just happen to be successful too. Hobbies can be very beneficial to one’s career. A study out of San Francisco State University using 350 employees found that people with hobbies showed more improvement in their jobs. They can help you learn new skills, overcome obstacles, be better about time management, and make you more patient. In other words, go pick up a hobby and maybe consider one of those favored by Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey or others in this story.
