True. I'm working at my occupation when I'm sitting at home doing internet surveys because I need to be a practicing physician in order to qualify for those surveys. If I was disabled from work, I wouldn't only lose my direct practice income, I would lose that survey income also, so I would not hesitate to count those hours.

I'm also doing work-related stuff when I'm reading journal articles to keep up to date on current treatment guidelines and new therapies or attending conferences for continuing education credits to maintain my licensure and board certification. It is all part of my occupation.
