I have been existing in a superposition of both of these states for a few years and really like it.
During the day I'm a senior engineer on embedded c/c++ stuff. During free time at home I dig in the dirt and build shit and do my "farm chores" like tending to my koi pond. Feels good man.
I think most people would agree that fresh air, exercise, hobbies, and personal goals are good for your body and mind. It's still wild when I notice it actually working.
