That’s load bearing free time, better not touch it.

Sir, you have coined a term I will use regularly.

That’s why I love my free time, because it’s FREE! It’s not to give away!

Under all freedom pandering hierarchies, My freedom is freedom to your time.

Right?! I already have a phone call to make today. That’s two hours to prepare for the day, shower, breakfast etc., an hour to prepare for the call, an hour for the call itself, an hour to process and act on the results of the call, then lunch. That’s six hours right there!

Maybe we should start calling “free time”, “recovery time”

I don’t think we need more therapy speech. Imo we should call work “nonfree time”

My comment was meant as a joke to the same effect, making it obtusely obvious to managers that this time is not to be disturbed

Well, from a theoretical standpoint your employer “buys” both your work time AND the non work time in which you are supposed to rest and recover so you can work again the next day. But because we live in a hypercapitalist hellscape non work time is seen as lazyness and not as a requirement for productivity.

Plan your “free” time.

If couchmaxxing is important to you, put that time on your calendar. Don’t call it “free time” when you budget for it. Call it a “recharge interval” or something else that denotes how important it is.

There’s no such thing as free time. We’re all granted a finite number of hours in our life. Use them wisely. Time to chill is important and should be treated as such.

My father disliked me playing with the computer during the day on the weekend. He always gave me things to do whenever I was in the middle of getting destroyed in Unreal Tournament.

He stopped once when I told him it’s not because I’m doing nothing that I have nothing to do.

It stunned him and worked for like an hour but it felt so good. Speech 100 moment!
