In honor of my late grandmother, who devoted about twenty years' worth of Saturdays to cleaning the floors and bathrooms of her local church -- for free -- I must inform you that this isn't true.

Whether or not she was maximally productive is quite a different question. A lot of ritual activity isn't especially intended to be productive.
