My top two hobbies, in terms of time and commitment, are music and writing.

I love playing in a concert band, but when we're on deadline to get a particularly challenging piece ready for a concert sometimes I panic a bit.

Writing is a lot less stressful -- except when I was trying to do National Novel Writing Month, trying to get to 50,000 words before midnight on November 30. Haven't done that for about 7-8 years, and now I just write when I feel like it.
