You do need to prioritize work to some extent because if you don't then you'll be unable to maintain a job, and then you'll have no money and be homeless and unable to feed yourself. Your life will be a lot worse in aggregate than if you merely prioritized work to at least some extent and were able to maintain an income to pay for creature comforts.

You can't just, at every moment, prioritize whatever is most fulfilling or heartwarming or whatever at that moment, and then have it negatively affect other long-term important stuff like maintaining your income. I'm not gonna skip a meeting that people are expecting me to attend to call my mom when it can wait until later in the day. If she were on her deathbed -- of course. but she's not.

That is all overly sanctimonious.
