I did freelance work for about 2 years and I didn't feel at all like the author. To me associating time with money was helpful, but I wasn't thinking on it 24/7. I know that when I feel tired, the most productive thing to do is have some leisure time or simply go to sleep. To me having a price tag on my time was helpful deciding what was worth waiting for. Trivial things like waiting for a bus or taking taxi, cooking vs take out, etc. I guess it mostly depends on your priorities and how much money you make. People living on the day or the week maybe don't have the luxury to relax
