Do you feel useless when you are not working? - GoFuckYourself.com

AaronM · 07-16-2005, 11:00 AM

I know it bugs the shit out of me when I am not keeping busy with work.

What about you?

And yes, I know some troll will say I am useless anyway....Hate on, loser.

chadglni · 07-16-2005, 11:04 AM

Yeah, I'm addicted. Better than crack at least.

suesheboy · 07-16-2005, 11:07 AM

I do.

I need a break

baddog · 07-16-2005, 11:08 AM

I have yet to find that out. Will let you know when it happens.

smack · 07-16-2005, 11:08 AM

all the time. i have been gradually make myself back off that compulsion though. couple months ago i felt lazy when i would goto sleep at night.

it also seems to be directly related with how many projects i am juggling at once. the more i have on my plate, the less i want to do anything else but finish.

Spunky · 07-16-2005, 11:09 AM

Drives me nuts..I can't stand to be out of work for very long

brand0n · 07-16-2005, 11:09 AM

fuck no. i feel at peace

flirty · 07-16-2005, 11:10 AM

of course...i feel unproductive

but sometimes it gets going me better after a nice laid back afternoon rest.

ronaldo · 07-16-2005, 11:11 AM

When I'm working, I feel like a useless father.

When I'm being a father, I feel like I should be working.

It's a vicious circle but so long as everyone's happy and healthy, all's good.

Now, with the family away for the weekend, I SHOULD be working, but fuck it. I'm going to drink some beers.

I'll feel like my wife when she slept with me for the first time...guilty in the morning.

Machete_ · 07-16-2005, 11:13 AM

I did that a few years ago.. my work was my life.... then found that there is so much more

Shooting_Manic · 07-16-2005, 11:18 AM

Its a guy thing... men derive their self worth by working and finishing task and providing.

Its how we are made.

Linkster · 07-16-2005, 11:45 AM

I did for the first 50 years of my life - last year I decided I had had enough and I've never been happier - now I only work 15 hours a day since I retired

khs · 07-16-2005, 12:03 PM

only until I get wasted

BlackCrayon · 07-16-2005, 12:12 PM

as long as im making money...no.

CashLikeWhoa_Mike · 07-16-2005, 12:21 PM

interesting thread Aaron, and a good question.

I think most of us who shoot our own content and run other phases of our businesses struggle to balance work and everything and everyone else in our lives.

Especially if it is your company and you founded it, you will always be committed to the business of making it the best it can be, without regard sometimes to how many hours a day it might take to get it done.

Not exclusively a guy thing...

I'm a girl and working from home means I work 14-16 hour days, no shit...I barely sleep anymore, because if my kids are busy playing or sleeping or eating or whatever, I feel like I ought to be working.

WiredGuy · 07-16-2005, 12:25 PM

Work is what keeps me interested and motivated so if I'm not working, I do feel like I'm wasting time.

xxxice · 07-16-2005, 12:28 PM

I always seem to be working

LittleSassy · 07-16-2005, 12:29 PM

yes...i guess im getting used to it...

Sosa · 07-16-2005, 12:32 PM

more and more I feel that way.

CC · 07-16-2005, 12:37 PM

Actually, no. I just feel so lucky that the $ keeps rolling in even when I am literally doing zero work (for instance, when we're on a cruise).

ChefJeff · 07-16-2005, 12:43 PM

I can relax when I'm not working, for all of about 3 minutes. Then I have to go back to work.

Gio_JoinRightNow · 08-12-2005, 02:02 PM

NickRac · 08-12-2005, 02:03 PM

IwantU Bryan · 08-12-2005, 02:08 PM

CherryLipsRosa · 08-12-2005, 02:30 PM

I feel unproductive when i am not working, i always need to find something to do.

yeah me too, although I think everyone that runs and owns their own business feels that way. although once in a while it's nice to take a break, although not for too long

wedouglas · 08-12-2005, 02:35 PM

tristan_D · 08-14-2005, 10:58 PM

I love working but I can't wait to have a break. Confusing me.

naugthygUrL · 08-15-2005, 01:24 AM

Stacey_JoinRightNow · 08-15-2005, 01:34 AM

Yes, I really do, I feel nothing and I hate when I'm bored!

Jakke PNG · 08-15-2005, 01:38 AM

Useless, no..
stressed, yes.
I *always* have something to do, and I feel 'guilty' when I'm not working.
Gastric ulcer, here I come!

Maximillion · 08-15-2005, 01:39 AM

Whenever I do something besides work I try and gain something from what I'm doing. For example watching a movie: learning something about life. Chatting with a friend: gaining some advice.

It's part of your personal growth which will positively affect your business goals or whatever goal you may have.

PixeLs · 08-15-2005, 02:01 AM

Not really, but it bores me so much!

reed_4 · 08-15-2005, 02:56 AM

I enjoy my work 'coz if this will bore me i would stop and take my break.
