> To be time drunk means to be so “drunk” that one forgets time exists. This forgetfulness is presented as a bad thing, given its inefficiency in the market economy. However, forgetting time is the right move when it comes to sacred considerations.

But isn't the flow state also where people forget time exists? And isn't the flow state said to be the most productive state people can be in?

But id argue that the only difference between drunk procrastination and flow state is that one is considered “productive” while the other one is considered a waste of time. If my randomly disassembling a laptop to clean it instead of tackling that hard problem at work gave me money I’d be in flow state.
