Anyone else realize you have no real hobbies because work and family have been the priorities since undergrad?

Now, I'm looking for a new passion that isn't in front of a screen, on the phone, or in a conference room, but don’t know where to start. How does one approach this?

I feel this. I try to read but! I need to be more active, but! I thought about joining a group of ladies in my community, but! I am hoping to get more motivated once the weather is warmer!

Oddly enough, I was just thinking about this the other day. I feel like I don't even have time to read anymore. I've thought about getting into needlepoint or even joining a local club just to have something to do.

I read a lot. I bake from scratch. I do a hand fully of 5k a year. I craft. I go to the gym. There is no need to find space and room for the needs and hobbies of others, if you cannot provide yourself the same things

I've completed technical and managerial round at citiustech. It went well.
I'll have my HR round probably on Monday.
On their application they've said they're accepting only upto 60 days notice period candidates. But I'm having 90 days notice period, if I tell them about this 90 days notice period now in HR round will they understand my situation and select me?
Please guide me I really want to get selected in this company and switch from my current employer.
