Why should we assign "meaning" to leisure? Why does everything you do have to be meaningful? Reminds me of a lyric from Cat Power - Metal Heart: "How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the things you do."

I think we assign "meaning" to leisure so we give it as much value as our work. Gaming ourselves to respect leisure more.

I.e. The itch we instinctively don't bother scratching when we are too busy working. We need to value that itch so we take the time to scratch.
