I am not saying that you can't take a break and do stuff that has nothing to do with problem solving. My point is that once you've built that mindset of system thinking and automating tasks, combined with skills that allow you to actually implement the routines needed for a given task, you will find it hard to not optimize daily toil.

I am not saying that this applies to everyone, but it most definitely applies to everyone I know that decided to "give up and live on a farm".
