FREE TIME.. WHAT'S THAT??

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM . . . "WEISURE TIME"???

I just heard a new term which I'd like to share with you . . . "weisure time".

So what exactly is "weisure time"? Basically, "weisure" is a combination of the words "work" and "leisure", and it refers to people who use iPhones, BlackBerrys and other forms of technology to stay in touch with business colleagues . . . while spending time with their family and friends. For example, if you're responding to work emails on your BlackBerry while watching your kid's soccer game . . . that's "weisure time".

Anyway, a sociologist from New York University named Dalton Conley coined the term. He says, "Increasingly, it's not clear what constitutes work and what constitutes fun, [be it] in an office or at home or out in the street . . . "All of these worlds that were once very distinct are now blurring together."

Or look at it this way. A lot of people don't have separate work and home lives anymore, and the time they spend multitasking . . . or focusing on BOTH work and home-life activities . . . is called "weisure time". (CNN)
