Leisure Time Habits and Satisfaction Survey

Explores how people actually spend their free time, how satisfied they are with that balance, and what gets in the way of doing more of what they enjoy. Built for leisure, wellness, media, and lifestyle brands mapping real behavior, not stated preferences — with an AI follow-up that reconstructs a specific recent moment when leisure time fell short.

Pick best & worst per setBest:Biggest obstacleWorst:Smallest obstacle
Q06
Point AllocationRequired

If you think of all your weekly leisure time as 100 points, how would you split it across these categories as it actually happens today?

  • Family or friends time
  • Personal hobbies
  • Exercise or sports
  • Entertainment media
  • Rest or relaxation
  • Travel or outings
Allocate 100 points
Q07
Opinion ScaleRequired

Overall, how satisfied are you with the amount and quality of leisure time in your life right now?

Scale: 0 – 10
Min:Not satisfied at allMax:Extremely satisfied
Q08
Multiple Choice

How do you typically decide what to do with your free time?

  • I plan it in advance
  • I decide spontaneously in the moment
  • I follow a regular routine
  • I mostly go along with what others suggest
Q09
AI Interview

Anchor on the obstacle the respondent ranked as biggest and their overall satisfaction score. Ask them to walk through a specific, recent time they wanted to do a leisure activity but couldn't, including what got in the way and what would have needed to be true for it to happen. If satisfaction was high, probe what makes their current balance work so well instead. Push for one concrete detail (a day, a plan, a person) rather than a general statement.

Q12
Message

That's everything — thank you for sharing how you spend your time! Your answers feed into research on how people actually experience leisure, which helps shape better products, content, and experiences for downtime.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Combines behavioral measures (last-30-days activity checklist, weekly time-allocation matrix, and a constant-sum exercise forcing tradeoffs across 100 points of leisure time) with attitudinal ones (satisfaction opinion scale, ranking of desired activities, max-diff on obstacles) so you get both what people do and why
  • An AI follow-up interview anchors on the specific obstacle each respondent ranked as biggest and their stated satisfaction score, then reconstructs one real recent moment where leisure fell short — turning a low score into a concrete story instead of just a number
  • Every AI probe is a transparent, inspectable prompt (not a black box), and each response is automatically quality-scored so low-effort or contradictory answers surface before analysis
  • Auto-generated reporting synthesizes the closed-ended behavioral data and the open-ended follow-up stories into one deliverable, with a free tier available for teams that want to trial it before committing to the $50/mo Business plan

18 Leisure Time Activities Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

This is primarily a guide/blog post listing 18 sample leisure-activity questions with explanatory copy, rather than a ready-to-field survey instrument. It's useful as a reference for question ideas and covers common leisure topics, but a researcher would need to assemble and structure it themselves before fielding. There's no indication of any adaptive or interview-style component.

What it does well

  • Offers a broad bank of sample questions covering multiple leisure-activity angles
  • Backed by an established survey platform with standard question-type support (multiple choice, rating scales, etc.)
  • Includes explanatory context for why each sample question might be asked

Where it falls short

  • Presented as a static question list/guide rather than a structured, fielding-ready template with logic already built in
  • No adaptive AI follow-up to probe why satisfaction is low or reconstruct a specific real moment — respondents just answer fixed items
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology, and no built-in synthesis report combining behavioral and open-ended data
