Doesn't it make you tired? Don't you wanna crash on the couch when you are back home?

It's great having productive & rewarding hobbies, but don't beat yourself up over the fact you don't want to code for 12 hours a day. Not exactly what I was looking for but helped me feel better. Thanks!

I don't want to be productive just for the sake of being productive. What I meant is that I have some "hobbies" that I know I enjoy doing in right circumstances, having enough mental energy being one of them.

Yeah this makes sense but if it's a side project that requires mental energy (like learning something), then we have a problem.

Makes sense. But what if you have coding-related hobbies? Like learning a new programming language or writing a software of interest? It's kinda contradictory. We like to do it in general, but as you said, sitting in front of the scree

You found it useful for having more mental energy left after work?

I actually am taking Ritalin (methylphenidate) already. But in the morning. Not sure if you mean taking it after work. Side note: Counterintuitively, Ritalin *might* have been playing a role in my problem as it's known to induce fatigu

That's what I have been doing mostly. Socialization, passive stuff, etc. But sometimes I'm not happy about not spending time for personal hobbies (due to the mental energy thing).

But what if you have CS-related hobbies as well? Like learning a new programming language or writing a software of interest? How will you manage it? I'm like you. After 8+ hours of coding, I don't have any energy left for coding.

Unfortunately I don't work out after work. Maybe I can give it a shot. Did you find it useful? Not for obvious health-related pros, but for increasing productivity regarding personal interests and hobbies.

It's not about copying what HNers do or living up to others' expectations. I actually have CS-related interests like learning haskell or doing side projects. Some HNers seem to be successfully doing it. I can't. So I was wond

The thing is that I like my job. It is rewarding, pay is good, etc etc. And I feel due to my curiosity, eagerness for learning, etc etc, whatever CS job I do, the result is gonna be the same. Not much mental energy left at the end of the da

I feel it's not a matter of having more time, it's a matter of how to have more mental energy.

by py4 4y ago
I have some interests, some of which are related to computer science, such as learning Haskell or working on a side project. These types of activities require a lot of mental energy and it can be difficult for me to have the energy to work

You are absolutely correct. The reason I used the term "chemical imbalance" was to simplify the matter. I just meant that I was thinking some of my problems have a chemical basis. As you mentioned, the hypothesis of "imbalanc

Reply to #1: Many psychiatrists don't seem to be concerned about control variables. When I consulted with them, they would simply ask me how I was feeling and if I said I was feeling better, they would assume that the medication was wo

Some of my friends even got their visa, have liquidated all of their assets and have resigned from their current position! Such a shame to rescind suddenly long after signing the offer. The funny thing is that I got recruited at FAANG with
