I get this, unless I’ve planned to do it in advance. I hate the feeling that I’ve missed an opportunity to DO something.
It feels like it stems from a combination of age and fulfilment at work, I’ll try and explain:
You know as a kid when you had the big summer holiday and you thought it would last forever, and then with only a week left to ‘back to school’ you got an increasing panic that it was nearly over and you had to run around to make the best of what’s left? I have that as a background feeling all the time, but it really kicks in if I’ve done nothing all day.
I think it’s also made worse if you feel that your days at work are unfulfilling.
I can see this might become something of a midlife crisis one day soon 😄
