We use this same logic to justify our leisure outside of work. It’s okay for me to nap because it’ll help me be more alert so I can finish this task. It’s okay for me to watch this game because I need to give my brain a rest. It’s okay for me to spend time with my kids because data shows that reading to children is the most effective way to improve their vocabulary and lifetime earnings. It’s okay for me to go for a run because it will improve my health. And so on.
