This is an important distinction, I obsessively avoid the overwork culture but I'm far from someone who just idles in my free time. I freelance and optimize my schedule to make a comfortable amount of money but not the most money I can possibly make. Then I spend much of the time I'm not working for a client on creative projects. So even though I may only properly book 3-4 days a week of client work, I'm working because I'm writing or filming or editing, or a client has a need that stretched outside of our booked hours that I'm taking care of or I'm just relaxing going to a museum or watching a movie. But the important thing is that I can choose what I do with most of my time. It's free as in "I have options" not free as in "I'm doing nothing."
