Too much idle time..not so fun

Here is a weird problem, I'm currently 'experiencing' and I'm sure some other people here are too - too much idle time. In the past few months I've been doing nothing but focusing on IM. I've eventually reached a weird point - I'm doing 'okay' financially and already making some 'average money', but I'm still not where I want to be (will get there for sure, but will take a few more months).

This has created a weird situation - I can't make a full use of my free time because I don't have the financial ability to be partying all the time, but I also cannot spend 15 hours a day focusing on my websites. As a result there is this weird 'gap' of idle and free time, which cannot be filled. At least I don't know how to fill it.

It's so weird, after going about two weeks without any social interaction I literally start going insane. Then I'd have a nice night with friends and it kinda 'resets' me for a few weeks. Than it starts again. Just goes to show you the importance of social interaction as a prevention factor in 'going insane' . Anyone relate or am I just being weird :p?

    I got the déjà vu feeling as I was reading your post. Life has some weird stages, agreed

    I still have a regular job with IM as a hobby. I definitely wouldn't want to be at home in front of a computer day after day. Its too much isolation.

    We are created to be in relationship with others, so it's totally natural for you to feel that way. Isolation, for me, is unhealthy.

    Well, we can't just spend most of our time facing the computer screen. Too much exposure will cause some radiation, dizziness or even migraine. Always remember that our health is very important than sacrificing most of our time to make money.
