I used to find I was less inclined to try a new hobby and would engage in my own time wasting Olympics as well. I was in a position to have a lot of time on my hands, and not a lot of resources to put into hobbies, so for many there was the initial investment I had to justify before I could get motivated.
I'm not sure exactly when or what changed for me, but I think it was in part, having friends who were already doing certain hobbies, that gave me motivation to learn more about those. Then I started to branch out to similar hobbies, and before I knew it I was exploring and learning about lots of different hobbies. Sometimes even just learning how to do a craft before I had any materials or tried to do it myself, in fact my first time knitting I actually just grabbed a pair of pencils and some yarn I'd been using for a different craft just to try it out. Now I knit and crochet.
Overall instead of worrying about if it was 'worth my time' or the financial investment, I started to just dive in and learn about it to see if I liked it. It's hard to debate the legitimacy of a hobby when you haven't at least dipped your toe in or taken a bit of time to learn about it first. Now there are so many online sites and videos where you can learn about different hobbies too. As to motivation, finding friends or other people who have similar hobbies can help keep that ball from rolling too far away from you, or toss it back when it does.
So if you ever feel inclined to retire from the sport of procrastination, I hope you'll set down the question of legitimacy and just start to explore any hobby that comes to mind that might interest you.
