I'm not claiming that finishing my work early gives some kind of magical extra time out of nowhere.

Energy is irrelevant. If you think that you can equate time and energy like that, you need to take some physics classes.
And even if you could compare the two, if you think that I'd expend the same amount of energy in both cases, you're mistaken. Imagine that my faourite leisure activity is karate. If I complete my work slowly, I spend all day sat at a desk. If I complete it quickly, I spend the remainder of the day doing karate. Do I expend the same amount of energy in both cases? Nope!

What you seem to be doing is misinterpreting the meaning of the phrase "to save time" in order to artificially create a paradox.
