Don't fall into the capitalist mindset that you're only doing enough when you're about to die from overwork. That's the propaganda that is shoveled to the working class while the bourgeoise "add value" from their private yachts.

At the end of the day, what is it that you enjoy? You should be trying to maximize that. I would do exactly the amount of work necessary to maximize that, and no more.

These people telling you you should run to a more tiring job seem to be suffering from some kind of Stockholm Syndrome.

If your sweet deal eventually ends, you seem like a smart guy, I'm sure you can come up with some good buzzwords for your next interview.

It's fine that some people want to be like that, but despite all the propaganda, the workaholic life is not for everyone. Maybe it is for you, maybe it isn't. You do seem to be slightly uncomfortable with your situation, so you need to decide for yourself.

Personally that would be close to my dream scenario, although I would be trying to set up auto-forwards or something so I could reduce the 3 hours per day. :-)
