I was thinking today about how much time I spend building LEGO models (My
own stuff, not sets).
I realized that I spend an average of at least 2-3 hours a day, every day.
This includes dry periods where I'm doing something else or take a break for
a few days (because there are other days where I'll "play" for about 6-8
hours!).
So, this is about 14-21 hours a week! That's quite a bit of time for a
hobby.
However, other folks spend that much time or more watching TV, so I suppose
LEGO building is better than that.
What do other people think? Is it unhealthy to build LEGO that much? Are
other people worse?
I'm curious.
