Free Time:
Conserving time doesn't mean that it should be all filled with work, or that life should all be seriousness and strife, with no rest nor leisure, or that it should be gloomy with no laughter nor happiness. Rather what conserving free time means is that free time should not exceed times of work, and that free time must not be the purpose of life while work is on the margin.
Free time should be subjected to the rule of mind just like work is, for through work we wish to achieve some purpose, and free time must also be spent for some purpose, whether for some health benefit such as permitted sports or psychological pleasure such as reading, or spiritual nourishment such as night prayer, reciting Quran and Hadith, and supererogatory prayer and worship.
But if one's purpose is killing time, then that is no legitimate purpose, for time is life, and killing time is killing life! The key to treating this problem is a strong will that can divide free time between what benefits one physically, mentally and spiritually. Thus a little time dedicated every day for a specific task may change the course of life!
