Do you really think that sitting down watching the grass grow, clouds, bunnies playing... whatever, is actually a bad activity if done for an extended period? If you have no responsibility that is being compromised, how can this be a bad thing or is time wasting? You seem to be saying that everything you do needs to have some purpose or needs to be productive? I suspect that the problem that society has is that we have decided that everybody needs to be productive and working towards something, even in recreation. Time to spin your wheels in an unstructured way is one of the great things about modern life. We don't have to be spending every minute of the day just trying to get our next meal.
