Life is always full, as by definition you're doing something with every minute of it. (Sitting around watching TV still counts as doing something in this definition.) So really, it's just a matter of filling your life with the stuff you want it full of. Kids softball games seem like a fine thing to fill your life with, as does 80 hour weeks trying to build the next Twitter, as does 10 hour weeks trying to build the thing that makes it so you don't have to work anymore, as does spending 4 nights a week in the climbing gym so that one day you might be able to redpoint an 8a. The sad thing, though, is that most people tend to fill their life with Simpsons reruns and 60 hour weeks at their salaried in-house developer job (because it's crunch time). If you find yourself doing that, stop. Find something you'd actually like to see your life filled with and make it a priority to do that thing.
