I set aside specific times for gaming, like during breaks and I make sure to stick to it. This way, I can really enjoy gaming without neglecting other hobbies like reading.
I prioritize my hobbies based on the day's schedule. So, If I have a busy day, gaming might need to take a backseat to more relaxing activities like listening to music or meditation.

First and foremost, just do what you want to do, and then make time for what you want to do most. Just don't focus on one thing or you will get burned out.
Do what you like to do, but always keep in the back of your head that hobbies can equate to future money if you get really good at them.
It'd be really hard to enter the world of eSports, but if you were good at photography and used a bit more time there, you could make a career out of it, and then use your downtime to play games.
Why should I balance gaming and other hobbies, why can't I do what pleases me, do I need to really balance my hobbies?I do what ever my mind tells me to do. Sometimes I play games for many days without watching TV shows and movies, and sometimes I do not play games for weeks, even months and always watch shows for fun.
I think balance comes from setting clear limits. I’d treat mobile gaming like any other hobby, enjoy it in specific time blocks, and not whenever I’m bored. That way there’s still room for exercise, reading, or anything else I enjoy.
I try to balance mobile gaming by setting clear times for it instead of playing randomly throughout the day. I treat it as a reward after finishing other hobbies or tasks. If it starts feeling automatic, I take breaks and switch activities.
