Monetary value doesn't put much perspective on it, for me at least. Summing them up just makes it seem as if it were more usable time.... If you're milling parts for a steam engine... How well does that work when the available time is incredibly small? I mean, when I'm tinkering, I take a couple+ hours (I enjoy it)... I personally couldn't break that up into 10 minute chunklets - the creative juices don't flow that way
Watching birds and spending time with loved ones - sure... But what's the cost if it's more stressful? I personally am not fun to hang around when I come home stressed out - my other half isn't going to appreciate a sixth of an hour more time for someone that's not happy
Quality over quantity
