Well, they can be.

And there is some prior research that suggests that we sort of gravitate towards leisure when we have like really unexpected windfalls of time.

But what we were adding to this perspective is this idea of essentially once you've decided, like, am I going to take a break or am I going to work?

Once that decision is out of the way, people gravitate towards bigger activities, right?

So if you decide that you're going to work,

then you're like, I'm going to tackle that longer task or something that I've kind of been putting off.

And you can be more productive.

But if you decide like, oh, you know what, I'm going to take it easy, you can actually really slow down and sort of stretch out.

Say, you know, a coffee break becomes, you know, goes from a quick,

grab coffee down the hall, you know, in a break room to, you know what, I will walk to a coffee shop and, you know, take an extra 10 minutes, you know, to have a latte instead.

So I think certainly some people are going to resonate with your perspective.

It's like, I can be so productive, but there's also that chance of it's like, now I can really slow down and relax and take a real true break.

Yeah, you know what?

I think part of it is it has this exaggerated sense, right?

It feels better than just an hour I expect to have free because it's more than an hour that I expect to have free, perceptually, right?

So we have that expansion of time.

And in addition to that, when we have this expansion of time, we start to feel that more is possible.

Like I could do so much more.

Or so little.

So it's really this like sort of I can feel licensed to really relax or I can feel sort of inspired to really be productive and tackle something.
