For me, the concept of "quality time" only really applies to work. You can be "in the flow" and get a lot of stuff done in 2 hours that might otherwise take weeks to build. And in the context of work, there are factors (organized, bright, distraction-free room) that you can optimize to make it more likely for you to have a short, but high-quality work session. But for free time, I don't get it. The whole point of relaxing is that you stop worrying about getting things done, so there should be nothing left for you to measure to determine the quality level. If you can measure the "relaxingness-level" of your free time, you're playing make believe for other people. The quality of your instagram photos is probably inversely related to how relaxing the vacation was. When you're asleep at the beach all the time, there won't be any photos to show for it.
