leisure
Time for yourself
Leisure is free time—time not occupied by work or duties.
It suggests unhurried ease: a life of leisure, at your leisure.
The leisure class has enough wealth to avoid labor.
Leisure activities are hobbies and recreation.
The word appears in leisurely, meaning without haste: a leisurely stroll through the park.
