The Passion Audit

The Passion Audit is not a hobby list. It's a system for reclaiming who you are outside of work. If your days blur into meetings, notifications, and late-night scrolling… If "relaxing" leaves you feeling numb instead of recharged… If your identity has quietly collapsed into a job title… This book is your reset button. Inside, you'll discover a practical, step-by-step framework to break the Work–Scroll–Sleep loop and rebuild a life that feels dimensional, energized, and fully yours. You'll learn how to: Run a Discovery Audit to uncover what actually energizes you (not what looks impressive online) Use the Hobby Identity Matrix to match pursuits to your personality and cognitive load Apply the Filter System so your interests fit your real schedule, budget, and space Prototype new passions using the 7-Day Micro-Trial Method—no expensive gear, no long-term commitment Install the 3-Hour Rule to make hobbies sustainable in a 40+ hour workweek Avoid Productivity Guilt, burnout relapse, and Shiny Object Syndrome Decide whether to keep your hobby sacred—or evolve it into something bigger This isn't about becoming a world-class woodworker or marathon runner. It's about building multiple "identity legs" so your entire sense of self isn't resting on your career alone. By the end of this book, you won't just have a hobby. You'll have a repeatable framework for staying curious, energized, and engaged—for life. If you're ready to stop scrolling and start creating, The Passion Audit begins now.
