If all time must have value then joy in life has been dropped from the equation. Without joy or beauty, for its own sake, then time is only value and value does not nourish all parts of the person. This is not to denigrate value, merely to 'balance' purely value with the immeasurable, for how can one balance the need for beauty or joy. A life without beauty or joy becomes a life without meaning and without that, in the opinion of Viktor Frankl (with whom I am quite in agreement on this) it is not a life.
