==Description==
'''Leisure''' or free [[time]], is a period of time spent out of [[work]] and [[essential]] [[domestic]] [[activity]]. It is also the period of recreational and discretionary time before or after compulsory activities such as eating and [[sleep]]ing, going to [[work]] or running a [[business]], attending school and doing homework, household chores, and day-to-day [[stress]]. The distinction between leisure and compulsory activities is loosely applied, i.e. people sometimes do [[work]]-oriented tasks for [[pleasure]] as well as for long-term [[utility]]. Distinction may also arise between free time and leisure. For example, [[criticism]] of consumer [[capitalism]] by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situationist_International Situationist International] maintains that free time is [[illusory]] and rarely free and instead, [[economic]] and social [[forces]] appropriate it from the [[individual]] and sell it back to him as a [[Thing|commodity]] in the [[form]] of leisure. Leisure [[studies]] is the [[academic]] [[discipline]] concerned with the [[study]] and [[analysis]] of leisure.
