I might have said this before, but this is a big reason why I love teaching. I'm a bad multitasker and in situations where I'm being paid to be present and "look busy", I end up pissing about on the net an awful lot, and neither working nor playing wholeheartedly but feeling like each steals from and spoils the other. On the other hand, when I'm teaching a lesson I'm concentrating fully on it, so when I'm done I'm satisfied that I've done the job; and when I have a free hour I'm not officially at work and it doesn't matter if I'm slacking off so long as I get my marking done.
Then again, like you say, eight hours of lessons/patient-facing a day is bloody exhausting.
