If you're looking for something to chew over, some thoughtful seeds for mental cultivation, bookmark this page for Jeff Mason's fortnightly meditations. There is more and more leisure time for many people and less and less leisure. Somewhere along the line, true leisure got confused with time off from work, time off from chores, time off from the routines of life.
Work is a drag.
Time off is fun. However, the usual understanding of leisure does contain the idea of a lack of time pressure, of not having to do something right now. We are often so busy that we forget to grab leisured moments outside socially defined contexts of spending leisure time. Leisure is not about the objective passing of clock time and how much of it you have to do nothing in particular. True leisure is an approach or an attitude to the time that you have, whether you are working or not.
