It's "not job hunting" guilt. You aren't motivated (or maybe a bit depressed) to do the job search, but you feel like you should be, so you don't want to look like you're getting anything else done either. Because if you do, someone can say "if you have all that energy and time, why haven't you spent it finding a job?".

Books, videos, and video games are less tangible accomplishments than learning a new craft or writing. While they are "stacks" in your mind, they aren't really.

I think it might be different if you made a conscious decision not to do any job hunting for x weeks. Then you could say your primary job was to craft or write. But this is just a theory I haven't tested because I had the guilt too much.
