Isn't it quite obvious that productivity does not scale linearly with time worked? Consistently, I can work 4-6 hours a day at full productivity, and I have to choose less demanding tasks for the other 8-10 waking hours to maximise my productivity and well-being. This is also what I observe in my peers, and while there might be outliers to this, I think the stretch is far less extreme than propagated by some influencers.

Irrelevant, and reads as a non-sequitur. OP expressed his personal assertion on laziness, not productivity.

laziness and productivity are intertwined, no? They are both relative, but I find it hard to say someone is "lazy" if they only put 30 hours in but outperform the rest of their team by a decent margin. That only works if you think you can get 33% more productivity out of them personally if you pushed harder.

I think it's a notion worth considering in such a conversation.
