Well, I think it is important to have free time at the weekend because throughout the week we are mostly working. One should be able to have leisure time during the weekend to gain peace of mind, rest physically, and catch up with family members. It also provides time to return to hobbies that may have been missed during the week due to work commitments or social events that could not be attended. They can make up for that after the weekend.
