Leisure activities are considered time spent on non-compulsory activities. It is part of the time you spend not related to work or education, household chores and personal care, or similar. Some would say it is time spent on anything that is not stress related and/or day-to-day routines excluding eating and sleeping, it is often also referred to as "free time". Some would also call it 'down-time’ or 'down-time activities'.
