personal time

Off-the-clock moments

Personal time is time set aside for oneself, free from work or obligations to others.

In workplace contexts, it often refers to paid time off that employees can use at their discretion: I'm taking some personal time tomorrow.

More broadly, it describes any period devoted to rest, hobbies, or solitude: I need some personal time to decompress.
