Depends what kind of work, I had a gap in my IT career but I worked all this time, some physical labor and helping and caring for my old-aged grandparents. Exactly this is my speculation: spending time in front of a computer coding has some adverse repercussions on your mental health. If social media does it, why not coding? I don't think is a willpower issue, I think it is more of a surrounding environment issue. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Park
