The answer is to engage in leisure rather than "do nothing," I think.

The person who does all their work in an hour to spend the rest of his time woodwork, gardening, playing music, working on side projects, or coaching his kid's soccer team will be respected more than the person who takes that extra time to binge Netflix.

The one is efficient, disciplined, and virtuous. The other is just efficiently lazy.

The same irrational thinking.

It’s none of your business what the other person does.

You haven't explained why it is irrational.

"Rational" implies order, logic, and purpose. "Irrational," then, implies chaos, illogic, and aimlessness.

We are rational beings, so to see our fellow man using his faculties in a well-ordered way in pursuit of some good is to see a man more fully alive.

It may not be my business to tell another person what to do, but it is right to admire certain types of activity over others.
