 |  Intellectual Overloading, To Cope With Stress
I've been getting nervous, lately, and I'm finding myself listening to an hour-long video of the inventor of Linux talking about his creation's history. WHILE learning how to use vi (a non-graphical text-editor). WHILE building a website (in Linux's version of NotePad). Later, I'll be working at a church. The night will likely finish with reading a portion of a comic thick enough to beat a bear to death.  Am I on a good track? Just blow my mind 'til I don't even have room to worry? Time to head back to work, either way.

Out of all the activities you described, which is the one that you feel really passionate about. Once you find that activity, you will not feel that you are wasting your time. Do you feel as passionate about Linux as Linus Torvalds? If not, then find out what does make you feel that way.
