>during my student years I would read and write every day

I'm going through something similar at the moment, OP.

>When I'm at work, I keep working on this story in my mind.
>I keep telling myself to work on various projects when I get home.
>Tell myself to pick up drawing and writing again. (Not that I was ever any good, mind you. I was just happiest when I was focusing on my hobbies.)

>Now, I come home and just stare at the blinking cursor.
>I put a pencil to paper and can't seem to process the words that came to me so easily when I thought about them at work.

hm, its almost as if money doesnt make you any happier than you already are

I work from 7.30 until 4. I read a lot. My mother cooks from me however but i still have ample time for a girlfriend, a very active social life and a lot of reading. Usually a book from mon-Fri with no reading on the weekend

I will agree with writing. You need a lot of free time to write anything but short stories or poems. But I think full time work kills a bit of your poem writing skills

Yes, pretty much exactly this. Ideas come to me vivid and flowering when I'm at work, and then vanish when I finally get home and try to make them materialize. I pick up my copy of Poe's collected works and stare at it until I end up browsing /lit/ on my phone instead.

It's given me a new understanding of Seneca's thoughts on time and the shortness of life, I'll say that much.

This thread is making me happy because you're all my competition and lazy as fuck

I'm not at all. Work gives me inspiration to read and write. I usually do nothing literary on the weekends

That's it.

I'm just going to turn my computer off completely. I'm going to sit in my kitchen, put pen to paper and write. Write anything. Just to make sure another day doesn't pass without another word written.

Is it normal to be dying of boredom at your wagecuck job and telling yourself that you'll work hard on those side projects and take advantage of your large amount of free time when you get home and feeling smug because you're so much better than all the sheeple around you but then later procrastinating by eating junk food (as comfort food) and browsing the internet mindlessly, telling yourself that your real life starts tomorrow, and this goes on for hundreds of days in a row with the false confidence becoming a daily occurrence?

You just described most people, so yes.
