I think OP is suggesting that commoditising, tracking, sequencing and optimising your actions (i.e. productivity culture) comes at the expense of your emotions, wants and "natural life", which is a Bad Thing™ - while also not acknowledging that a complete disregard for discipline or optimisation of life's tasks might also lead to Bad Things™ (e.g. lost time, failed/unfinished creative endeavours, unnecessary external stress, etc).

In general, this has always felt like the Golden Mean[1] problem to me - or for the Nietzsche fans, the conflict between our Apollonian and the Dionysian[2] urges.)
