Free time is the time that a person has to do what they want, without having to fulfill obligations.
Time is a concept that comes from the Latin word tempus and refers to the physical magnitude that allows a sequence of events to be established and measured. The duration of events is also known as time. Free , for its part, is that which is not tied, subject or subordinated to something else .
Free time , in this way, is the time that a person has to carry out the activity they want , without obligations. It can be said that free time is the hours that do not correspond to study, work or domestic tasks.
For example: “In my free time I like to go for a walk on the beach” , “I'm tired of not having free time: between work and home, I don't have any time for myself” , “I'm looking forward to the holidays: I need free time to rest and relax.”
The enjoyment of free time
In modern societies , free time is scarce for most people. Long working hours, continuous training, domestic and family obligations and even commuting demand many hours, limiting leisure time.
There are multiple ways to enjoy free time. There are those who choose to rest while others prefer to take advantage of the opportunity to do physical activity or play sports . Free time, on the other hand, can be spent at home or in a different environment.
