That's called leisure, being able to direct your actions without worry about them paying the bills, leisure.

Of course you could choose to vegetate in front of a screen, but you're also free to walk the hills, create art, create machines, write software or poetry, or whatever.

I would count that as leisure, why wouldn't that count?

Leisure isn't laying on a couch eating grapes; leisure is the freedom of deciding what to do with your time,.

So … you would spend all your time on your chosen leisure activities—your passion projects. That is the point.
