Depends on your work... how you define it. Since I'm on a computer at a home office everyday for work purposes reading, learning, and posting is an aside. I'm both self employed and employed by others. Plus, work is often in 45-120 day projects or piece work where, IF I WANT, can take time off at various times. When I do work it's often averaging 70 or more hrs weekly. I'm often paid based on my production or for the entire length of the project in installments NOT on/only on a salary or hourly based rate. I earn my time off. Also, I watch very little to no TV during long durations(haven't owned a TV for the past 6-7 yrs), and do little shopping choosing to lead a very simple frugal non consumer/materialism based lifestyle that frees up time, money, and other resources to do other things like independent self study and share. ALL THIS is by design.
