First of all, I think that you'll find that a large number of people get the "do more" feeling. We hear about others who are accomplishing a lot with their time and feel that we're worse than them if we don't to something similarly constructive. It's very natural, and you're not the first one to feel it.
There are two responses I can see to this. Either learn to be content with your current state, or actually DO something!
I know many people who are quite content with doing a small number of things and living a peaceful, quiet life. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, as long as they're not freeloading. There's no rule that dictates that extremely active people somehow live better lives or are inherently better people if they do these things, so I don't think it's mandatory to constantly be busy with activity or stimulation.
On the other hand, you CAN do something more if you want. Don't sit around moping about your inaction...go DO something. It doesn't get any simpler than that. The hardest part for me is always starting. Finding a cooking class, getting started on a good book, etc. is the toughest part of being productive. The rest follows a good start.
