> I am working on something, but that something is myself.

Great way to spend your time. It takes a lot of time and energy so it's not really surprising that there is little bandwidth left to spend on other things. I totally recognize that.

Sometimes boring and steady is good if you need that energy to work on other things, but if you think the "boring" is part of the problem, it might be time to change things up.

If you have the means/access, therapy might be helpful to figure out where these feelings come from and what to do with them.

> Everyone seems so busy building or learning the next big thing

I think this is also not per se a realistic view of what's going on. There are plenty of people who do their job and that's it, but you won't see them post about it.

Things are only a problem if you find them problematic. If you are happy doing nothing that's great, if not then you might need to take some action.

I've had times where I did absolutely nothing, now I am building a company haha, things change, lots is possible.
