Sometime in grade school, I got the idea that the more time I spent alone, pursuing recreative activities, the more I "won." It was a sensible idea under the context that birthed it. School was a place of two states of being: bored; and picked-on. But it is not the case anymore.
I find that I can be engaged all day in productive-context activities, come home, spend a little time unwinding, sleep, get up and do it again the next day. And this is more gratifying than days where I spend little or no time in productive activities less, and more time screwing around on my own. A day off is nice, but even then, I like working on something.
The key is finding the activities that I find rewarding, then establishing a social context that enables my working on them.
