I'd seriously regret writing this if that was the outcome.
As for me having too much time on my hands, my days are pretty long and I still get all the work done that I should so as far as I can see the damage is limited. In the last three weeks I've changed out the gearbox on a car (which is something I'd never done before on a car that new), had about 30K lines of changes committed, made a couple of online friends, helped some fellow HN'ers to improve and/or launch their startup, met some interesting people and I found enough time to write an article or two and be active here.
If you have any productivity tips other than 48 hour workdays I'm game :)
Good to see you have a diverse range of activities. I firmly believe that overspecialisation (even though it is sometimes economically advantageous) can be crippling for the mind.

And I enjoy this.
