Yes, that's exactly what I took away from the article. I do think severe laziness day-to-day is definitely detrimental. But being idle, resting and reflecting is important to "reset" yourself and preventing burnout.

Our society seems to condone any type of idleness, especially in the technology industry. This view needs to be changed at an institutional level. In every talk I've heard, people say one of the most important things working and running a startup is to maintain a healthy work-life balance. Instead of just acknowledging this concept, we need to actually implement it.
