I don't consider sleeping, cooking, eating or having sex free time, I consider them maintenance :)
Anyways my point is that most of the things you listed are definitely work for the brain, yet people don't think they affect your ability to be productive at work, since they're not something you're paid to do, which I don't think makes much sense.
It totally does. First, there are these effects, and second, as I said, there are reasons why they're not something you're paid to do.
I'm not paid to listen to music I like but I might need to be paid to listen to music you like. Same deal with browsing your websites, reading your books and watching your movies.
If you're enjoying your work and having your cached selves do most of it, what's the big deal with long hours? How will they impact your productivity, if having ridiculously meticulous conversations on your favorite website doesn't?
Well, but the fact that it's the music I choose to listen to etc. means it doesn't drain my willpower as much. See also this.
Actually I meant the part of that post where if you pay someone to do something they'll enjoy doing it less.
Less time left to do the other things I mentioned? Certain things are terminal values; fiat currency isn't one of those. (Granted, I don't only do my current job for the cash, but I wouldn't spend as much time on it if I didn't need money.)
