When we say that we have a full plate, we mean that we have a lot on our plate or a ton of tasks to complete. But sometimes, we long for the opposite - to have a free and easy schedule. The antonyms for having a full plate are having an empty plate, having a light schedule, having ample free time, having few responsibilities, having idle time, having leisure time, having an uneventful day, having a relaxed schedule, and having a lot of downtime. These words are ideal when we want to express our desire for a day or week that is light, easy and ultimately stress-free.
