That's a fair comment. In my mind, I have been focusing on the recent history, whereas technically if you go back to the beginning of human civilization, you could argue that people never clocked in and out. But they also had to do every little thing themselves rather than pay someone. Something's wrong with your roof|clothes|body|[anything]? You fix it all by yourself (and God help you if you don't know how to). Does fixing those things count as work? One way or another, we do have to take into account that free time means something different today than way back when.

It doesn’t count as work if it’s what you WANT to do with your life.
