I tend to get jealous when I see people working with their hands, prefferably outside. Sometimes I even observe the guys cleaning the street and thinks, maybe its not that bad after all?

The times I have done such work (like construction) resulted in a much greater satisfaction and feeling in my body than after a day in front of the screen (even though I have been productive). Doing lots of running and gym but it does not generate the same feeling.

Have lately started to do something about it, maybe switch career totally.

Cal Newport mentioned in his last book Digital Minimalsim about the benefits of learning and accomplishing something with your hands in the real world, and how it's argued to further energize whatever else you do it, be it digital.
