Everyone is different. Most people don't feel the need to be productive and improve every hour of every day.
My co-workers are all nice and fun people, I enjoy working my 7-8 hours a day. But when i get home I don't want to keep working, learning new work-related skills and such, I haven't contributed to open source projects since I started where I'm working now.
I couldn't be more happy about how separate my work and non-work life is, I have a ton of fun with my own hobbies during my free time and have no stress whatsoever.
If you are very ambitious and have large goals, of course you do have to work hard for it though. That goes without saying.
