The older I get the less I can sit around all day and do "nothing". Is anyone else like this?

I wish I loved my job that much where I would rather read work emails than spend time with my family.

It’s less “I like doing this” and more “the CEO was copied on this supposedly super urgent thing and I don’t want to look like the asshole holding something up” a lot of the times
 
Kind of, but I feel the need to do inner work rather than outer work. I like games that don't take my full attention so that I can reflect while playing.

I've been like this for a while. Productivity is therapeutic in some ways.

That said, it's catching up and I'm feeling burnt out and slightly depressed. Eventually it is nice to relax and do passive, pointless shit without guilt.

Nah, I generally only get this feeling when I have extended time off, like after 3-4 days of not doing much (other than simple household chores) I start feeling this kind of ennui.

same here. i feel like if im not productive, whats the point. i have been walking and reading a lot in the sun and it helps. sitting down all day is not good at all.

if you eat squat, drink no water you might get constipation and an anal tear which hurts likr hell. especially if you are obese.

Agreed, but can you get to a point where there isn’t any guilt? I can’t anymore.

The opposite for me. By the time I finish work for the day I just want to veg out and do nothing. The weekends are really the only time I have a chance and want to do anything.

Ehh, 2 dogs, a wife and a 1.5 year old. I reeeaaallly like doing nothing at times.

But yea, sitting around doing nothing has definitely lost some of its appeal.

I'm 33.

I guess so. I work hard most days of the week. My days off normally have chores.

There's going to be trade off. I haven't enjoyed a day in a long time. My days off are prepping for my days of work. Man is in a twisted outlook. If we could push forward without complications, then we likely would. Yet we stumble upon very wholesome complications which nobody has escape from alleviation.

I'm 35 and can spend an entire weekend not really doing anything at all, doesn't bother me. But I'm an introvert who loves alone time.
