No one's forcing you to do anything. Do all that "so much more".
The problem is then you might want food and shelter and goods and medicine - the results of other's labor. To get that you will have to provide them things of value, i.e., the result of your labor in some form.
If you can do "so much more" then do it and trade for the other things you cannot make.
The reality is that to produce things others want so you can trade for things you want takes work, and that work is not simply having all the fun you feel like every moment.
