This kind of mental framework is very key for analytic decision making. At a decision crossroads, having this sort of thought process has often helped me make the right choices. That being said, if I'm not careful, this kind of non-stop analysis of my productivity makes me pretty stressed out. Yes, I value my time a lot - but I've also had to learn to let go sometimes and let life happen. The more I continue to ruminate on thoughts like, "Am I creating $100 worth of value right now?", the more my ability to relax deteriorates. I don't want to be in constant productivity maximization mode.
