The toxic need to be productive

Anyone else have this issue where they just need to be/feel productive all the time? At the end of the day, if I decide to unwind by watching some Netflix/play some Rocket League, I feel this guilt/need to be productive creep up. And if I ignore it, I start to feel anxious. I just can’t seem to get rid of this.
I earn well, generally happy with life so I can’t figure out what’s causing this.

In the end, employee-employer is two way relationship. They give you salary and you get the work done. As long as you get work done, you should be fine and don’t feel the guilt. You don’t need to give 24 hours of your time to the company, you’re not their slave
Company pays you for 40 hours work. Every extra hour you work, you're reducing your hourly rate:
$weekly_salary/(40+extra weekly hour)
Would you let someone dupe you in a real life transaction?
