Emily Oster

Economics works great for planning your life when you don't have a work passion, since we tend to assume that your job delivers only money and you trade off job hours with leisure hours. If you think your job will just be a job, pick one that pays well per hour and leaves you some time off, even if the activity of the job is boring.

American Economist

Kelly Sue DeConnick

Comics are not theatre - there's a very important difference in that the reader controls the page. You can linger on a page of comics as long as you want. You can read and go forward and then move back; you can reread, in one sitting or at your leisure. You can take as much time as you want to take in that story.

American Writer

Benjamin Franklin

Not only are we working less, we're enjoying ourselves more. As we're working toward this world of abundance, we're able to increasingly enjoy leisure time.

Politicians also have no leisure, because they are always aiming at something beyond political life itself, power and glory, or happiness.

I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.

How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue.

American Author

Leisure assumes non-working scenarios, so don't use it to describe pauses in work.

Non-Work Context

"Leisure time" is often intentional and chosen personally, not just free time.

Personal Choice

Leisure has a positive feeling, evoking relaxation and pleasure, rather than boredom.

Positive Connotation

The adjective form often suggests informal situations and clothes.

Informal Settings

Leisure activities are primarily for enjoyment, not competitive or work-related.

Enjoyment Focused

"At our leisure" implies no need for speed or haste; things can be done slowly.

No Rush

Using leisure in this context often highlights a comfortable, stress-free experience.
