idle hands, the devils workshop?

not sure, but I'd like to have "idle hands" on some days (like today).  Now before you drift off with thoughts not at all related to what I'm thinking - this is specifically related to my inability to actually spend a day doing nothing!  One would think that for me, (direct from the pages of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"),  that the concept and application of "idleness" into any one day NOT in specific - wouldn't be so frickin hard.  It is, was...
I'm wondering just how many ways there are to organize wire, files, screwdrivers, the list goes on - and ergo the problem.
Even sitting here - (Having eaten something the call the Pizza Giganticus, or something like that - not sure what else you'd call a pizza that requires you eat at least half if you intend to take the rest home and not be required to put it into the truck bed or leave the rear hatch open.  I guess the fact that they use those closet boxes from U-haul is also a good indicator.) - I'm still trying to organize and itemize, stuff!
The real tell, that I've lost it - I spent 4 hours modifying a old hardware store display case (with the Lazy Susan, no less), for no other reason than it REALLY seemed like a good idea and WOULD work.  It did/does but I'm not sure the effort was worth it - and what I could have done instead with the time. 
The saying goes - "time and tides wait for no man" - so it's done now, the sun's set and I'm descending into that food coma derived from to much crust and ranch dressing.
