Yes, but there is such a thing has ennui. It is better to dispel ennui by taking up projects voluntarily than doing only minimum work and then becoming listless and depressed. I understand that the article is trying to get us to think about busyness for busyness' sake, but in a way, when water,food and shelter are taken care of, you don't REALLY need to do anything else. But then what do you do for the rest of your life? I would say keep busy, take a little stress, but when it becomes bad for you health and the people around you, back off. You'll be dead soon, don't waste it.
