> I am 24, young, and naive.

when you are just starting your career, you're not just working, you're learning how to work (ideally through mentorships, but typically through just building experience in your field)

over time, you'll find yourself building up skills and being able to finish 8 hours of work in 7 hours, then after some more time it only takes 6, and eventually half of your work day becomes reading articles and 'learning'

it's not an on-off switch, but a steady progression towards supplanting your busy work with 'smart' work, good luck :)
