> as I have a life outside of work. That's true, but personally I don't think that even with strict 9-to-5, I could stomach sinking so much time, energy, and attention (with more menial tasks I could listen to podcasts all along the way) into something I don't care about at all. I am very "life outside work", more than some people I know, but there's only a limited amount of waking hours, and with so many of them allocated to "working", I hope it's a little bit more meaningful to me than just paychecks. YMMV if your work arrangement is very different, especially timewise, of course.
