I'm thinking I need to scale back.

I average 12-18 hours a day 5 days a week and the a couple each weekend day.

This includes time to follw up on e work as well.



Please note if self employed.

if I count the time spent here...a lot of which is work

and all the emails...

and phone calls...

way too many.

I guess I better head out.

I'm running out of time.   ;)

i teach about four hours a day, and occasionally have to do actual prep for them. so, we'll round on up to six.

Yesterday I worked 9 hours, today will be 7.  It depends on the class.  I stand the whole time and am actually working the whole time.  Students take breaks, but then they want to ask questions so no break for me.  I have 5 minutes during "The Hearts Electrical System" video to run to the ladies room.

Awake 18+/day.

Productive working hours 12.

Other 6 hours spent working out, eating, DML, riding, errands, tv, etc.  Ratio of theese depends on the day.

Try to only work 4 hours a day on the weekend.  Sometimes doesn't work though, as it is the only time B and I have uninterupted time together to work on our firms projects.

I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

I hear you have been having trouble with your TPS reports.

The use of the new cover sheet was outlined in a memo.  I'll send you a copy.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I work 4 ten-hour shifts and probably work somewhere around 2 hours a day. The rest of the time I surf Internet forums and do classwork for my online classes (which my company is paying for).

I work on average 45-55 hours a week. Some of the harsher weeks approach 70-80. I work tons, and I like what I do....


and I think you work way too much.

It varies from week to week. sometimes 20 hours sometimes 60

I put in a good 6 hours of heads down no bathroom, food Break etc work.

I am on call 24 hours and get called frequently in the middle of the night so it all balances out.
