Ask HN: How do you manage your obsession

After few years of reading more than a few articles on startups and more than hundred books (audible + kindle only) it is hard not to think about it good part of the waking time and harder not to talk about it at all. But your friends do not quite understand what you are talking. Specially when your family and friends think that, you have a job that pays, a nice family (this is true) and a "hobby" of reading about startups but they are very annoyed when you sometimes (they view as almost always) skip the weekend funs for doing some boring stuff staring at the monitor. Some will say, some will be nice not to say, but still will think about almost certainly. Worse part is there is no way to argue any of these since you have nothing tangible in your hand other than few stories X lines of code or a working beta where users grow not in millions, not even in thousands but just a few every week.
