In general, I think so. I like yard work too, but that’s largely because I’ve deliberately chose a small, low maintenance yard so it never really seems like “work”. Those I know with acres of land lament the upkeep but have no problem watching hours of tv. There’s a reason why landscapers and gardeners exist while we don’t hire people to watch tv and give us a summary.

Maybe yard work is a bad analogy, but if you watch tv seated rather than standing, it’s because we have a preference for lower energy states most of the time
