By "Introverts", I'm talking about like people who don't like talking to other people. How did they spend their time?

There's also longer work days (it's not like peasants spent very much time farming in the middle of the winter) and less work shared between the clan/gens/extended family. Our time is spent productively, it's just that almost all of it is spent working for a wage and and doing chores to maintain a living space. A few minutes squeezed in to relax isn't the problem.

    I think actually relaxing is productive, taking the time to be at your best possible performance is time well spent.

    I just think that many modern activities are counterproductive to both rest and productivity.

    Like doom scrolling is big-time counterproductive because it blocks rest by frustrating you but also doesn't actually yield anything of benefit.
