   Figure out what your current hobby is. Take a survey to determine the best hobbies for your personality. Ask yourself what you enjoy doing, in a non-work, family committed, or education environment. Do you like to take pictures of things? Do you like to collect random items?

   Draw out a list of related activities to your hobby. If you enjoy taking pictures, list different subjects of things that you might be interested in, for example, people watching versus how animals, such as birds, act in public. If you like to knit, see if there's any projects that you haven't done before.

   Evaluate after some time if you enjoy or are satisfied with your hobby. It does take some time to getting used to something new, but if it's something related to your old hobby, you'll soon realize that there's more possibilities out there and could enjoy it more rather than trying to suit yourself with a whole different interest.

   Try to make some money out of your hobby. Committed hobbyists are known to rack up money by creating their own things and selling their completed products to others. Take a picture of your things and put it on sites like eBay or Etsy.
