What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

There is a good chance I have encountered this question before and already answered it. So what if I have. What is leisure time when you spend every minute of every day, or as much of each as possible, doing the things you love, enjoy and that keep you ticking? It is simple: I gave up busting my balls for the corporate machine years ago, and I gave up getting to work at a certain time, doing this much work to satisfy management andtheir various demands. I swapped it all for doing my thing, for preserving my own well-being and fulfilling what I wanted to do. So how do I spend my leisure time? I spend it in much the same way as I spend my working day. I spend it doing those things I do during jmy working day. Though, this should not include activities like staying fit. Swimming and Karate aree not part of work, but they require you to work hard upon yourself. To find the discipline to go out and train, even when don’t want to. Those are perhaps the hard bits. I have not been near the pool in a couple of weeks and am feeling it. As for Karate, well I am feeling that alright. But you know something? It tells me I need to keep up with stuff, to work on myself and keep doing so.

trying to write this is not so much fun TBH. It is not flowing and I am finding it a bit of a push. maybe I ought to clear off outside and go do some garden. After all the sun is shining and it might even be beneficial. There is a shed that needs emptying and dismantling, a Bay Tree that needs a minor trim and varuious piles of rubbish need clearing up too. Physical work is good for the body and gardening is good for mental health, though not always so kind to the back and knees. It is lucky I enjoy doing the garden, it is a leisure activity and not one I would do for a living. Though I have done ad that was a just a plain bore and not worth the effort.

So my lesiuree time is spent, painting, writing and reading, which is much the same as my working time. I do not have a television, I do not watch television and I like to spend my time wisely and productively. I think I could have answered this thing better and am going to stop now.
