Well yeah, i enjoy being busy. It's even kinda necessary for me due to ADHD, if i sit still with nothing to do for too long, days to weeks, early symptoms of depression start to slowly creep in which will get worse over time.
I'd just like to be busy with my interests and hobbies, not damned work. Even though I actually do like my work.

Now who has an attention deficit?
We like to be busy, not exploited and not waste our lives doing meaningless drivel.
I would play games and work on my many many side projects. I'd have so much more time for that (and let's be honest, maybe some games) if we had 4 day work weeks!
