I mean that depends entirely on what your work is and what you mean by “thinking”. As a designer/developer, just letting thoughts come and go without forcing it during off times is absolutely productive work that gives me a head start the next time I’m back at work “properly” again.
And as a CEO/business owner your job is making decisions for the most part, and thinking about those decisions should better be a big part of that
Bud claims he’s “working” during his full waking hours. Nah, having a job where your decision making and planning is spread out throughout the day does not mean you’re working all the time.
No NVIDIA employee is going to buy that he’s continuously working while going to the movies, playing golf, hanging out with work buddies over lunch, etc. while they’re physically sitting at a desk working. Sure, there are pockets of work in there and productive things may happen, but he’s not working in the same sense his staff is.
Thinking about work is not the same as working. Maybe he should invest some money into therapy for his work anxiety.
Maybe I can start building up savings if I work overtime by zoning out of movies and thinking about stocking the grocery store for half an hour…
Hell wait, if I just think about being Nvidia CEO, can I split Jensen’s salary?

Oh yeah, agreed. I was just irked by the wording a bit
