I think the secret to making sure it's a joy and not a duty is to

In my book, this goes for turning any hobby into a profession. I've done
so with audio engineering, many moons ago, and it took me almost 20
years afterwards to find some fun in doing audio as a hobby again.

I did that very thing with my darkroom. I turned my darkroom from a
retreat where I could be undisturbed to produce fine art prints into an
assembly line for developing and printing customer films.
I did that for a few years in the mid 1990s, and when I decided I had
enough of it in 1997 I never went back into the darkroom for pleasure.
By rights, it's been more than twenty years since I used my darkroom. I
took it down and put the equipment in storage in 2010 after not using it
for over ten years, and finally disposed of all of it when I decided to
stop paying for outside storage a couple of years ago.
