Hrm, weird that that is the take away from what I said when I made it rather clear I work less now than I ever did before.
I had boredom and depression from having to be at work while not being able to do anything at any sort of pace I wanted.
If I have to be at work, I rather be busy, because being at work is what's horrible for me.
So I eventually fixed that by not having to be at work for anything but the time required to do the work.
At home, I can be idle by watching a 200 episode show in the span of a few weeks without any feelings of boredom or depression.
Sitting around at work doing barely anything of interest, yeah, that 100% causes boredom and depression.
I'm with you, friend. If I'm working, I prefer to just work until it's done or I feel I need a break. For me, starting a job, it takes a couple hours to define the problem, a couple to investigate and prioritise tasks, then to start looking into solutions, and suddenly it's time to stop. Then there's all the time commuting, taking breaks, etc.
I prefer to just get in, get in the zone, knock out a slab of work and get a job done. It takes a few extra hours on a work day, so be it, it was going to be a work day anyway. By doing that, it gives me a day off? Yes please.
