How many hours do you work?

How many hours do you normally work per day? How many days do you work per week?

Professionally, though I'm curious about the latter as well if you consider it part of your professional development.

Always depends really, on days that I'm at university on something I'm being paid for 4-5 hours a day. Whereas when I'm not at uni I'll prioritise course work and labsheets to be done, those days I can usually do up to 9 hours a day.

It really depends on the week, but ~10-11 hours per day, 5 days per week. Where I work we set our milestones by quarter, so in the end of the quarter we normally work more, ~14-15 hours per day, 5 days per week.

For personal projects I try to find time on weekends, ~3 hours per day.

Normally 8h per day and 5 days a week. But when we get closer to the deadlines, that can increase to 10h day. Sometimes 13h in a day

I work about 8 hour days during the week, occasionally stretching to 12 in some situations.

Then I do some weekend work pretty much every weekend. The extra time is mostly "startup founder" duties. It is what it is. On some days I'll cut it early at 5-6 hours which helps refresh from the longer weeks.

😄 Nice, But do you work all 8 hours ? Or this 8 hours include break, lunch, idle time etc. How much hours are you actually productive like before the computer window coding etc ?

I spend 40 hours a week on my day job unless there is an emergency. If you count blogging/promoting my content/social media though...gosh I don't know. Probably 10-15 hours a week for that

The usual 40 hours per week, though of course that includes the multiple coffees per day, some time losing on the internet... I’d say what’s really really work around 25-30 hours per week.

Officially I have a 40 hour week, but usually work ca. 50 hours. Overwork is registered, so sometimes I can take a day or half a day off. Private projects get time on weekends early in the morning, ca, 2 to 3 hours (until my wife wakes up).

8 hours a day during the week for my main job with an additional 2-3 hours each of those days for my business. On the weekend, I probably do 4-8 hours a day (depending how I feel) on my business.
