Leisure has been defined as a quality of experience or as free time.

Free time is time spent away from business, work, job hunting, domestic chores, and education.

It also excludes time spent on necessary activities such as eating and sleeping.

From a research perspective, this approach has the advantages of being quantifiable and comparable over time and place.

Leisure as experience usually emphasizes dimensions of perceived freedom and choice.

It is done for "its own sake", for the quality of experience and involvement.

Other classic definitions include Thorsten Veblen's (1899) of "nonproductive consumption of time." Different disciplines have definitions reflecting their common issues: for example, sociology on social forces and contexts and psychology as mental and emotional states and conditions.

A person is a being, such as a human, that has certain capacities or attributes constituting personhood, which in turn is defined differently by different authors in different disciplines, and by different cultures in different times and places.

Living organisms including humans are social when they live collectively in interacting populations, whether they are aware of it or not, and whether the interaction is or involuntary.

An interpersonal relationship is a strong, deep, or close association or acquaintance between two or more people that may range in duration from brief to enduring.

This association may be based on inference, love, solidarity, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment.

Interpersonal relationships are formed in the context of social, cultural and other influences.

The context can and may and perhaps will vary from family or kinship relations, friendship, marriage, relations with associates, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and places of worship.

They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole.

Working time is the period of time that a person spends at paid labor.

Unpaid labor such as personal housework or caring for children or pets is not considered part of the working week.
