I often receive comments that after my day is done, and there are no more patients/clients to see, and the university lectures are over, that I must go home and read OT related research or OT text books.

The answer to that is a resounding "NOPE!".

After work, it is all about leisure.  I believe that everyone must have  a balanced life.  With that said, the many hours I spend inside of the OT world, whether its seeing patients/clients, lecturing, creating products, etc. I spend an equal amount of time in my leisure.
