I do the opposite, it feels like everything I do is not important, and I have to find something more important to do (and I end up doing nothing). This applies to programming, cleaning, visiting with family, scrolling online. It doesn't happen so much when running or walking, I feel content in that situation, and it doesn't happen when I'm working and have set tasks to do (physical, non-tech work). So it appears that choice is the main issue.

I've heard parents say that had similar issues before having a child, but the urgency and the lack of time gave them a purpose and single direction.
