Leisure : Doing nothing 

Leisure time is time in which there is no job to do or least not one that needs doing "right-a-way". This time can be used to do almost anything that brings rest and relaxation.

This time can be spent on two main kinds of leisure:

Active leisure, active recreation, leisure sport (going to the gym, etc.; sport for fun rather than for competition); staves off boredom.

Lounging, "doing nothing": the kind of 'reclining-in-the-sun' type leisure, which implies going to sleep or a near-sleep lounging state. In a way it is "wasting time", but not really, if you like it (if not, it is called boredom).

Sport fishing may fall in both categories, depending on how active one is.

A more recent concept is that of quality time.

How I swore at it exhausted, and was very glad to reach the posting station.html">station at Krasnoyarsk. heat, smoke from the burning woods, and dust--dust in one's mouth, in think your face has been painted. When, on reaching Irkutsk, I washed at colour, as though I were washing a horse. When I get home I will tell you about the Yenissey and the Taiga--very everything else is ordinary and monotonous. Roughly speaking, the scenery differences, but they are not very noticeable. Travelling is perfectly utterly unnecessary, and you are as safe at night.html">night in the forest as you are foot.... June 5, 1890. I reached Irkutsk last night and was very glad to have arrived, as I was not written for ages. Well, what is there of interest to write to you? I Tyumen to Irkutsk I have driven more than three thousand versts. From awful; on Ascension Day there was frost and snow, so that I could not take the floods, they were a veritable plague of Egypt. The rivers rose above of versts around. I was continually having to exchange my chaise for a pay with one's heart's blood, for one had to sit waiting on the bank for to Krasnoyarsk was a desperate struggle through impassable mud. My chaise, to walk, to swear, to get out of my chaise and get into it again, from one station to another, and every time the chaise had to be mended it hot and dusty. Add to all that hunger, dust in one's nose, one's eyes glued the chaise (it is my own), and boredom.... Nevertheless I am well.
