Great point. I believe the essay certainly misses some degree of nuance for the sake of brevity and clear messaging. Taking what I said to the extreme would mean that every hour of every day should be accounted for and planned for, which I disagree with. Life is inherently unplannable and should be spontaneous.
The note I did want to capture here, is mostly when or if you find yourself with plenty of vacua but seemingly garnering no benefit from their use. While this may be a long thought to cover later, I suspect the interior solution to be something akin to the flexible filling of a vacuum where you can also intentionally choose to cede time to spontaneous events, work, friends, or any number of other options.
So, should the vacuum be 100% filled by you? I don’t think so and I don’t think I asserted this in the essay, yet maybe my lack of displaying the opposite point implied this.
While I think the point has merit I am having a bit of difficulty in agreeing that optimization occurs only when the vacuum is filled 100% by me.
I suspect an interior solution exists rather than the corner solution that seems to be suggested.
