"I am talking about 46.5 hours of 100 percent concentration. It could have changed your life."

This is nuts, an hour or so per day of low-quality time in the evening after doing a full days work and various chores, gym etc will never be 100% concentration. The only way it's going to change your life is to burn you out.

There are marginally more productive things you could be doing that don't require too much energy, say reading a business book, but do that for a month of evenings and see how you feel, I guarantee it wont be better.

I really thought that this was one of the rare things virtually everyone agreed upon - trying to be productive all the time is counterproductive. I've always known some "real-life min-maxers" but even those are more about 'optimizing your leisure time' and less about demonizing spending a couple of hours a day having non-challenging fun.

Absolutely correct. Trying to be productive all the time is counter productive. I believe that we can train ourselves to enjoy leisurely activities that benefit our health / relationships as much or more than media consumption. What if we went on a 30 minute walk every evening and chatted with a significant other / child instead of scrolling through Facebook?
