I read a tremendous interview a while ago, I thought it was published in NYT but their search sucks so much that I have no idea how I would find it again.

Basically what the interviewee said was: "You can work or play, but you can't be doing both at the same time"

I thought it was a tremendously interesting and have never heard the divide discussed in those terms elsewhere, but search engines simply cannot find content using terms this vague. Any ideas?
