The article defines the opposite of being a workaholic ("work matyr") as
> “Time Indifference – We put off what must be done and do not use our time to support our own vision and further our own goals.”
Personally i can't really identify with that view. I find work hardest to focus on when it is opposed to my own vision/goals (other then the goal to pay my rent). I suppose its still the same thing as a second order effect, spending time procrastinating is usually more time then just straight up doing it, which is less time on your own goals.

And it doesn't free me up that extra time to pursue my own goals either. I don't think I'm alone in this.

- bawolff 3y agoFor me, there is a difference between "procrastinating" where i can't really focus on the thing im supposed to be doing but also can't really do anything else because im super stresssd & anxious about it, and just intentionally putting something off
