There is much more to life than work. We all have families, friends, and a beautiful world to enjoy. We need more time off to enjoy it.

    After a few years my hobbies and interests weren’t enough to fill three full days off every week

    That sounds like a you problem, not an issue with the plan.

    Try new hobbies?

    “I’m not creative enough to fill my own time, so I’d rather just work more often so other people can tell me what to do” is just such an insane complaint one can have …

      Blame the culture I grew up in not me. If you’re comfortable lazing away day after day go ahead, I can’t do that.

        Who said anything about lazing?

        It sounds like you can’t conceive of doing things that are productive without someone else telling you exactly what you need to be doing at any given time.

        I explicitly mentioned hobbies, not starting blankely at a screen mindlessly consuming - is that all you do in your downtime? Is that what you think hobbies are?
