Take up a new hobby

A ready-made journey for anyone who wants to take up a new hobby: 7 steps, about 3.7 hours in all, in an order that works — work steps of 30 minutes or less, with real-world sessions kept whole.

When it's useful

When you have decided to take up a new hobby but the first move is fuzzy. Nextep shows one step at a time, keeps the rest in order, and never calls anything overdue — a day that slips simply becomes today.
