Life is too short to feel like you always need to be productive. Believe me, I know the feeling and I find it frustrating because it impedes my ability to relax.
Time spent enjoying yourself and learning things (even if they aren't directly applicable to work) is not time wasted. Improving your problem solving skills is always good and it often feels good, as long as you keep the level of time commitment within a healthy range.
