Time and attention management doesn't necessarily preclude a social network. Be creative all you like, but without downtime and some time to laugh the duration of that creativity is going to be sharply limited.

I think about it as not work life balance but more not letting other people dictate how you spend your time at work.

wonder what the ideal amount of time spent on work is. tim ferriss seems to recommend 4 hours (surprise, surprise...) of "real" work.

what's your "Time and attention management" like?

Mine? It sucks. I've noted that the 4-hour limit is pretty accurate for actual focused work, but I've drifted into some areas (technical translation) that don't always need a lot of focus.

It varies.
