I spend almost no time doing nothing and I hate that. Then I feel frustrated with myself and get angry and it's even less productive than if I'd spent the angry time doing something I liked or doing nothing. Part of it is that I freelance and thus I can be working any time. Which translates to working odd hours and not having boundaries. :(   My goodness this resonated with me.
