The secret reason that people are pro in-person working when the work doesn’t strictly require it? It normalises non-screen time, which are often the most generative parts of one’s day.

unless you're using every waking minute with the maximum possible efficiency, time is not your bottleneck. your true bottleneck is energy, focus, or courage. "I don't have enough time" is deep cope

If we imagine a perfectly efficient human being doing 12 hours of high production work per day, with four hours for food and lifestyle tasks…

Do we imagine they would ever have a single new idea?

Creative insight does not come for hard work. It comes from making mental space.
