Personal Leisure Inventory
Leisure and recreation is an important part in everyone's day to day life. If you look at a typical persons schedule, they sleep for 8 hours and work/go to school for 8 hours. What does a person do for the rest of the 8? This is where leisure and recreation kicks in. Leisure is time spent away from work, business, or school and recreation is a specific activity done in leisure time. I will be sharing my own leisure inventory which include my current leisure activities, the benefits I get from them and how frequent I do them.. Then I will talk about my leisure needs and the plan I will pursue in order to accomplish my goals. Current Leisure Activities | Anticipated Leisure Benefits | Frequency of Involvement | Working out at gym | Physical, health, social | 1 hour/day | Playing Basketball | Physical, health, social | 8 hours/week | Bhangra (Dancing) | Physical, health, social, cultural | 6 hours/ week | Hanging out with friends | Social, cultural | 3 hours/day | Watching TV/Playing Video Games | Social | 2 hours/day |
Types of Involvement

All my leisure activities are social benefits as well as each activity I have listed requires me to be social. A couple of my activities also give me cultural benefits as well. Hanging out with friends is a great cultural benefit because depending on which friends you are with you adapt to the culture surrounding them. Or in my case I have a sense of different culture when I am with my friends. Also,
