What do you do if you have too many interests at once?
>Interested in cinema, so trying to watch a film a day and read about film analysis
>Interested in philosophy, so trying to read and take notes on secondary and primary sources
>Interested in literature, so trying to read at least 25 pages a day

I want to learn about all of them, but trying to handle them all at once is exhausting. Would it be best to drop an interest in order to focus more on a subject?

I have school work on top of this. Completely gave up on a social life.

If you're not comfortable with the way you're managing your interests, you have to either adjust your time with them or put some to the side. The latter isn't the best to hear, and if you can manage not doing so then I wouldn't, but sometimes it's best. I'd like to draw regularly, but my other more important interests and regular life get in the way so I've, for now at least, just decided to put it on the back-burner. It sucks, but there's only so much we can do.

I'd like to know as well. My time on this earth is limited yet there's so much to learn here. I want to experience as much as possible before I die.
If you have to cut down on interests a little, perhaps it could help to set aside certain days for certain activities. So you never neglect one of them too much. Helps with getting started with something as well.

Don’t do all those things in one day everyday, try splitting it up. Honestly three interests isn’t that many, I have an interest in those three plus videogames, ten pin bowling, and have a job which I work 25 hours a week on top of being a full time student. I took a sick week off this past week so I finally had some time to watch films and read some crap, ended up only reading one book on Taiwan and some of Edmund gosse’ Father and son.

This. Just look at dirty pictures all day and get your information from wikipedia pages. Most people don't know anything about literature and won't notice.

Plan a timetable. Take turns on subjects every week or every second week and so on.
