I pretty much went thru the same thought process as you as I was reading your note lol. I was thinking yeah just keep quiet to your boss about your extra time - until some other smart arse figures it out and tells them (or they do) but at the same time thinking you need to leverage this to your own benefit by working for yourself. But I wonder how many of us would still screw ourselves over though and keep using the "free time" that technology buys us. The world moves on so fast and the expectation to keep pace with everything is always there! I think it takes such discipline and development of our personal core values, mindfulness and constant checking in with ourselves to find a life balance we're happy with. That's without any consideration of what it takes to earn enough to live, of course.
