Engaging in Activities Before Maariv

Question

Is it permissible to engage in personal activities before the Maariv prayer?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha 

This halacha was stated only regarding Shacharit. 

Before Mincha and Maariv, only activities that might extend and cause the prayer time to be missed are prohibited, while other personal activities are permitted.
