Nothing will make you more productive than having resources to own your time. Nothing will make you less productive than being pressed to use your time to get resources you need.

This is inane.

BS,most people wouldn't know what to do with their time other than to waste it away. It's very hard to plan long term and execute so most people will do what they feel like doing minute to minute. If you have all the resources you will ever need then wasting your time is no problem. Otherwise be very careful with it. Most people can't manage it by themselves. They need the structure of a job or similar situation.
