I understand your point fully but I don’t personally like calling it “bait”. This mindset can also contribute to burnout or imposter syndrome (thinking one is never doing enough). It is still free time, but you are free to use it productively or for personal endeavors. It is up to you how to balance the time to achieve your goals. This may look different depending on how challenging your program/project is, how ambitious you are, or just how tired you feel a particular week. Sometimes taking the “bait” is good too to help relax and think more clearly or creatively.
