Yes but it's cloudy for me because my leisure sometimes involve things that take a lot of work (spending hours in the recording studio, cooking an elaborate meal, spending all day in the garden). So I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.

Do you do those activities for the joy of it or for self-improvement/another goal?

The way the book talks about leisure is that it's time you spend not striving for things. An example she gives is going for a walk without focusing on how many steps you're taking.

That's a murky grey area, I definitely have more aspirations as a musician that prevent me from enjoying it as much as if I didn't care at all about producing a good album.
