Ah yes, I've had that dream too. Unfortunately, the 8-hour, structured workday is in place because it works well for average people. It would be hard to find a workplace where you can say to your boss "I got my work done for the day by 11:30. I'm gonna take the rest of the day off."

Actually, I did know one guy who worked at a place like this in Australia. He completed his project for the week by Tuesday and when he asked his boss for more work, his boss just told him to take the rest of the week off.

Unfortunately, almost every other place requires you to still sit in your seat for the remaining time.
