> What surprises me is that almost always these people don't use their free time to do something productive
Relatable.
I am at a job currently where I can get past by working 3 hours a day. But what do I do with rest of time...well not much.
And I felt the same way during Covid when WFH started. If you had told me a month prior to that that I'll be able to save 3 hours extra every day from mindless commute, in office chatter etc I'd have told you about my grand plans of how I'd make the best use of those 3 hours taking that course I have been meaning to take or reading that book that's lying unread. BUT when I did have those extra 3 hours, I didn't really do much of it.
I guess it's some version of Murphy's law - aimless surfing expands to take the time available for it? Not sure.
