How do I deal with a lack of interest in leisure activities?
-
What to do if you only enjoy productive activities and don't enjoy leisure activities anymore? Lately I have lost interest in almost all leisure activities and have started to treat them as a burden. I am however very interested in activities related to learning, working, improving and completing something. I treat these as productive use of time and feel I am wasting time if I engage in other activities. Reason for this behavior could be drive for faster growth in business or career. But I am having to engage in leisure activities with family and friends. Most of the people don't relate to this. What is a good strategy to deal with this?

Answer:
Dr. Kelly McGonigal calls that 'Hyperopia' (the opposite of myopia). I don't know what the solution is though - it's somewhere in her book the Willpower Instinct. Also, check out http://LessWrong.com, you'll find likeminded workaholics there.
