**KML9870** · 01-31-2007, 08:51 PM

Day job - 40 hours....own business about 20...church stuff about 15-20 so total would be about 70-80 hours a week.

im doing over 48 hours at day time and 12 hours are over time usuallly~~~so approx 60 hours a week~not include own business~

oh! you all spend more time on work. Lol!

**vangogh** · 02-02-2007, 01:26 AM

It's hard to say 100% since I forget to record a lot of things I do. I usually work between 50 and 60 hours on my business and then easily put in another 10+ hours learning new things that are related to my business.

That's cool. But, I used to maintain a record of each and every activity I do. So, I can see my progress very easily.

I generally do and I think it's important to know where your time goes, but it's been awhile since I recorded how much email I respond to in a given day and I don't always record every bit of reading I do.

I probably should since it is good to know. I think when you record your time you can really see what tasks you spend too much time doing and what tasks you don't spent enough time doing.

around 60-70 hrs per week, sometimes more. :huh: feeling tired now.

**In0ue'sHeArt** · 02-02-2007, 08:16 AM

yah, definitely i agree Mr. Moderator... and also it will allow you to realize if you are working too much for such thing and it dont work well hmm.. Better change the strategie..

anyway i am working 6 times a week for 8 hours. i guess its 48 hours..

**LadynRed** · 02-02-2007, 10:40 AM

Lately, close to 50 hrs/week.

To much! I consider work anytime that I'm sitting behind the computer not relaxing. My theory is that we should retire while we're young and work until we die... that way we can truly enjoy the best years of our lives...

But... I'm still young and I may be missing the point. I mean, I can't wait to collect my 401k and social security!

**roy77** · 02-02-2007, 07:21 PM

i spent like 10 hours a week learning and optimizing websites. (after school)

**vangogh** · 02-02-2007, 09:36 PM

roy I think it's fair for you to also add the hours you spend in school and the hours you spend doing home work for school. Don't sell yourself short. You do spent more than 10 hours a week working.

Retiring while were young will give us very little opportunity to enjoy retirement.

I honestly look forward to the days when 80 hours a week was just because I wanted to provide for myself and my family something to look forward too.

True, but wouldn't you much rather spend time with your family while your young? I would. I hate working all day and then come home to get paged for something and have to tell my son (who has been at daycare all day) to go do something to keep yourself busy while I'm working!! I'm not saying that you shouldn't get paid, people should be allowed to collect retirement before they've earned it and pay it off later.

I know it's completely off the wall and I'm not serious, but it's like we all live to work instead of living to be alive...
