Clayne R. Jensen (2006):

Existence Time

Free Time
Subsistence Time
Existence Time

is time spent for

biological needs
like having a
meal, sleeping,
and other
personal care.
Subsistence Time

refers to the hours

spent for economic
purposes such as
going to work,
chores, and for
students, hours
spent in school,
and school work.
Free Time

Free time, therefore,

is all the remaining
time after or to those
who have been very
busy with workload
or schoolwork, this is
the best time to do
recreational activities,
to relax, to rejuvenate.

Insight

Recreation

Recreation is derived from the

Latin word recreare which means
to be refreshed. Choices for
recreation vary from person to
person. What makes one happy
may not be so for others.
Therefore, recreational activities
depend on one’s interests,
pursuits, and needs which may be
reflective of one’s beliefs and
level of gratification.
