I think the point (I'm probably wrong) is that these kind of people did not have to "work for others" and had 24h a day every day for themselves. I would love to have 24h/day for myself alone and work in a very productive way around 4h in the morning on stuff of my own. As long as I need to work for others around 8h/day (because I need to pay the bills), then I cannot be productive.
Edit: I don't care about being productive while working for others.

- sdevonoes 5y agoWhen working for others I care about: 1. Knowing my craft (so, I got my degree and I "study"/learn stuff every week on my free time. I like it, so I don't feel it like "work time") 2. Doing always my best. So, if I need to find a solution to a problem, I'll consider the tradeoffs and requirements and come up with something that I will not regret pushing to production with all the knowledge I have at the moment. This allows me to sleep good at nights. Both points could be summarized as "being honest with myself and with others". From Wikipedia: > Productivity is the efficiency of production of goods or services expressed by some measure. I don't really care about measures.
