This pivot provides a conceptual statement of an approach to understanding the interrelationships of work, leisure, and 'chore' activities in daily life, and how they are managed in practice. 

 < p>

Drawing on the sociology of everyday life, Stebbins puts forward the notion ofPondering Everyday Life(PEA),a thinking process/activity in which we routinely understand, coordinate, organize, remember, and compare our involvements in work, leisure, and non-work obligations. This perspective demonstrates how the interrelation between these three domains helps bring meaning and continuity to everyday life. As a micro- and meso-level conception that takes into account social, cultural and historic context, Stebbins contemplates how and what PEA can tell us about an individual's view of their own life.

 

P ndering Everyday Lifewill be of interest to students and scholars across leisure studies, social psychology, and the sociology of leisure and work.
