Well said. I’m productive at work 9 hours a day. I sleep 8 hours a day. I do household work 2 hours a day. I raise kids 2-3 hours a day.
The remaining 2-3 hours are mine, I don’t want to spend them being productive. I just want to take a shower, read a book, browse Reddit or watch old episodes of Top Gear.

Excellent point. We are forced to slave by news, parents, schools and college, etc. Promising that one day we'll be movie Gods and millionaires. But we won't and we are slowly learning that and we are very pissed. Life is more than just career. It is about enjoying too.
I mean I understand you but sometimes not every seconds needs to be inside "utility function". Again you need strip out every assumption, belief about life that society has inscribed on your mind. Trust me, you will feel the same once you become Google CEO too. There is no "this is enough" point in future.
