Highly highly recommend the book Four Thousand Weeks for this question.

Someone already suggested this book before I replied so I'll add some more information.

The comparison of "intuitive tasks" is one that sticks with me. So much of what we do currently isn't intuitive like it potentially would have been for farmers. We don't know who benefits. We go somewhere for an abstract amount of time, we "work", we go back home so we can afford to spend time with our family, but not too much time we have work to do to complete before the next sprint.

We have layers of people telling each other what they should be working on who in turn tell people "lower" than them what they should be working on. No intuition here!

Cheers for the comment outlining more about the book, picked it up, I'm planning on having a big christmas break of reading!
