You completely missed one of the points of the story:

By doing this I’ve actually discovered that I can be more productive when I get away from the code for a while

I wish more people in IT would realise that software isn't like digging ditches. Another hour of work, after a certain point, does not necessarily translate into an hour of productivity.

To be honest that makes the article a lot less interesting. So... you spend more time with your family _and_ you're more productive? Yay!

Glad you realise something subtle here. It's not so obvious.
