       On the flip side of this, sometimes Satan gets us to think that enjoying free time, or time doing a hobby, is in fact bad. But, of course, this isn't true. To use an Old Testament passage, it is written, "“You shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain" (Deuteronomy 25:4, ESV). It's not wrong to enjoy things we like to do throughout the week. Now, some like to have some 'free' time each day, say an hour or more a day. And some like to work completely on this day or that day, and then have days with larger amounts of free time. I think that it is important on our heaviest days to have at least one hour of free time. This might be at the beginning of the day or the end of it, to wind down after a long day's work. But we should have one day every week were we keep our schedules free and observe our Sabbath. This is what is pleasing to God, for he himself rested on the seventh day after creating everything that exists. He gave us this model to follow for our own good.
