I don't disagree, but I think there is the otherside of that same coin... What if we could do other stuff while remaining productive.

Rather than the example of missing first steps, what if we had, "Ok Claude, prepare a few slides for my presentation, I'm going to watch my childs mid-day recital..." maybe you get a success/failure ping and maybe even need to step out for part of the event, but in another world you couldn't have gone at all.

I expect the opposite, where if you are not exploiting your newly freed time with more work, you will be left behind.

This is the premise of the comic Power Nap.

Well, at some point it's up to us to say 'no.' Weekends have not always been a widely accepted ritual[1]. They only became one because of collective action.

Dedicating any and all of your free time to work only becomes a norm if we let it.
