Someone told me I need a job because I think too much

I think of this often, especially now that I work 44 hours a week with half an hour unpaid break. I don't spend anywhere near as much time working on myself, my mental health, or enjoying the time I have on this earth because I just don't have the time or energy anymore. When I was younger and much happier, I asked someone in my family a question about the nature of the universe. I don't remember the question, but it was something physics related. They told me that I spent too much time thinking and need to use my time working instead. That has always stuck with me. Work culture has done a number on us.
