perhaps it's also about "ownership"...."purposeful" seems to have an element of external judgement about it...the term implies a belief structure that values measurable "output" (eg therapist says to large transnational health insurance company.."it's ok...my interventions are geared towards purposeful outcomes like getting the person with whom I'm working back to the their job..so you're money is being well spent")
whereas I would say meaningfulness can only be "owned" and stipulated by the person engaging in the occupation - and yes..it does include those non-"productive" occupations like contemplation, reflection, and spiritual practice...
