[quote=Anonymous]Wondering how to know the difference and what the heck to do about it....

I'm 45, married with kids, work full time. My career is meh - some days I love it, some days (like today) I'm totally bored out of my mind and unmotivated.

I often sit at work messing around planning personal projects (home projects or just stuff for myself) or reading blogs. I feel like I need to have some kind of non-work project going at all times to give myself something to be interested in - even if it's just doing some research for a future something or other.

I'd say that I'm high functioning - I work quickly and can get a lot done in a short period of time.  My coworkers would say that I am a high producer, clients are happy, work gets cranked out. But most days I'm bored out of my mind.

Maybe I'm not challenged enough? Maybe I should come up with some kind of hobby or ongoing project to engage myself with?

I'm definitely way too sedentary - going for walks and stuff sounds really good, but I rarely get up and actually go do it.

Is this typical among other people? Am I being too hard on myself? Or, should I be concerned that I have an actual problem?
