spare time
Hours for hobbies
Spare time is time not occupied by work or obligations—time available for leisure or personal pursuits.
I've been learning guitar in my spare time.
The phrase implies time left over after duties are met, suggesting it's somewhat limited or incidental rather than abundant.
