How long is Your Average Work Day?

It can go from at least 2 hours/day up to 10 hours/day for me, depending on my mood!

Why do insist with this type of clutter , who cares how long you work just take Action , here is a good thought why not use your head find a subject that people can answer in the posts and have a real discussion none of this top 5-20 crap just real stuff even newbies can relate to

You have a good point there... when you love what you do, you are happy to even work from 9-to-9 with NO weekends-off, because when you enjoy what you do, it doesn't sound like work, and the TIME passes very quick.

I just took a month off. In that month, I probably worked 5 hours total.

The 4 hours work week exist, but the reach that point, you have to work a lot.

It really depends of your business model too.

If you choose a method where you don't have to bring the traffic like Amazon, it is much easier to get started,

But the bottom line is the 4 hour work week do exist, but you have to work a lot to make it happen

I work 8 hrs/day for my client work and 4 hrs/day for myself.

Based around just mostly my money making activities I would say when you total things up its around an hour or two per day. After that the time I spent and my money works for me for the rest of the day and into the night while I sleep.

I am usually around 5 hours a day of 'real' work. I am to get as much balance as possible and while I may try and work more hours in a day, usually I can only really get 4 to 5 hours of work done 4 to 5 days a week. I have a family and aim to take of all weekend, however if a client needs something quickly I will make myself available when necessary. I love what I do and aim to get my work to compliment my life where I can. I can't imagine however a 4 hour work week in total can be possible, while 14 hour days does seem a tad unsustainable. Make sure you take time out to smell the roses

You wrote an article about Ferris book - how long did that take? As a freelancer - you provide a SERVICE - you can't condense the service into 4 hours and still earn a full time living.

I know you have stopped posting articles- though I think you still waste time on threads like this one. You aren't advertising your service here in the "for hire" section or in a signature...so this is not "work". But it is time spent. Do you count this time as 'work time'?

When you freelance you trade time for money just as you do with an offline job. You can learn to write faster - find better paying clients, etc - and thus work less hours for the same money. Some freelancers go on to build and manage a team of writers - sounds easier than it is.

You can work 12 hrs a day rewriting 20 articles for $10 each....some writers spend 3-5 hrs a day writing 4 articles for $50 each. Know where the money is and set goals to reach that combination of work/time/money.

For me it varies.
I don't really think of it as time based, i think of it more as accomplishment based.
Some days are 4 hours, others are 14. But at the end of the day, I measure my accomplishments and results opposed to time.

It takes me 11 hours per day.

Hi,

2 hours to 8 hours a day for me. Maybe a bit more. It really is an energy thing.

Tim Ferriss does all the hyper uncomfortable stuff that 99.999999% of folks avoid like the plague. We resist doing it, our energies are a bit lower, and the work hours add up. Meanwhile, he leverages his presence like few on earth because he does the freeing, hyper uncomfortable stuff (reaching out and connecting with highly influential folks, etc) that most folks give up on, laugh off, or dismiss, saying it's impossible.

His energy leads to a 4 hour work week. Or, the level he's vibing at. It's legit. Really. But shifting your energy, and your belief system, is the way to go, to actually embrace that it's real. I've not got there but I've no desire to get there. I just have fun. Publish a bunch of posts, which feels fun, promote my 126 eBooks, which feels fun, and I connect with a bunch of folks daily too, feeling fun.

Some days, after 2 hours or so, I cease having fun, so I stop working. Other days I ride the fun wave, all the way to a 10 hour day. I don't work off of a clock so much. Just check my energy, follow my fun, and I work/play according to how I'm feeling.

I will say this: the clearer you get on your direction, on your intent, you can cut your work hours dramatically.

Example; I sell eBooks. I'm the Blogging From Paradise guy who sells eBooks. All I do funnels to my Amazon page or the home page on my blog (where I've listed my eBooks by category), because I'm clear on this. Had to align my energy to do this ONE thing to save myself week's worth of work. The old me was unclear, tried to do 14 things at once, and worked way more than was necessary. The new me sees that my routine 12-14 hour days were the result of a clouded, unclear mind, and an unclear intent.

Few understand this: it's your BEING, not your DOINGs, that help you live your dreams.

Once you are BEING the person the DOING stuff happens really, really, really easily in most cases. Even when it feels hyper uncomfortable, you still know, it's what your intuition is telling you to do. Even if logic and convention spit in the face of your intuition (usually does), you still BE the person, and follow that path.....and BEING this person helps you shorten your work days, and creates an energy wave that may sweep you all the way here to Cyprus, without needing to bust your tail

I believe that you need to work hard and a lot to be successful! As for me I can say that I love what I do and I'm more than happy to work up to 12 hours per day!

for 8 years I've been working for 8 hours per day for 5 days, but now I am working 12hours per day for 6 days, I know people will tell me its tiring, but i guess if you love what you are doing it doesn't matter how long you working, we get burned out because it's what our mind dectitates,

I say this all the time, but it continues to be true for all these types of threads that ask:

• How much time do you spend on your business?
• How much money do you make in your business?
• What is your best traffic source?
• Where do you get your clients?
• Yada, yada, yada

Every business is different!

How much money someone makes or how much time they spend on their business . . .


has absolutely no bearing on what happens in your business.

These types of threads are not productive because they force comparisons that are never valid.

Right now I am working 730-500pm Monday to Friday...and about an hour or so for lunch.

5 hours and 32 minutes

statistical average

sometimes more, but then i take a day off next day

About 3 hours per day. I try to work smart, not hard. My goal is long term passive income. I don't believe in directly trading time in exchange for money. That sounds too much like a job and most importantly, it's not easily scalable.

I set my work hour to 6-8 per day but when I am enjoying my work, I end up working 14 hours. LOL

It depends on my mood and energy levels but I usually work at least 5 hours a day and no more than 8. For me, it's more important that I have the time to enjoy the moment. And I don't want to be burned out by my work. I just make the effort to work as much as I can and stop working when I'm exhausted.

I work 8 hours a day. No Regrets.

I work , on average, 50 hours per week, but I'm a recovering workaholic who did 60+ hrs/week for many years.

About 8 - 12 hours a day in the week, 4-8 hours a day in the weekend

40 posts on this thread and absolutely no value to anyone.

For the past couple weeks, I'm working at least 16 hrs/day. work work work work work

It can be as little as 1 and up to 15 hours a day... and up to 7 days a week.

It all depends on a variety of situations (the size of a current project, a deadline, a product launch, etc.), and in many cases, I get so caught up in a creative flow (especially with product creation, video creation, or some type of design), that I can work several hours until the point my wife has to pull me away!

Now I know why you feel bored working things you don't like

whereas you will work almost full day doing things you like.

even no time go to nap still like to compete all the things needed to do.

usually about 4-6 hours, however i have to step it up soon.

The average work day....in China or in France?

I work about 8 hours.

Here I am working in my Local Office about 8 hours a day. After completing my Official work, I work in the IM section. Something is better than nothing. So I work here whenever I get time. In an average I work 13 to 14 hours per day. Now I am really pleased to e=my earnings. Thanks

I try to put in at least a couple of hours a day. If I get really engrossed however could be 8 hours or more.

The length of my working day depends on how much work I get done :-)

It depends on of my mood, and how productive I'm. I don't say that's work is for me, because I love to do what I do. It can be from 1 to 12.

i go from at least 5 hours/day up to 12 hours/day for. if my mood is good then can do for a long time.

I usually works around 3 to 4 hours a day. Other time is wasted

I would say 8-10 hours. IM really take more time than a regular job. For me anyways.

I usually work from 12-16hrs daily. It's not a hard work so I need to spend time to do many small tasks and these always take my time much.

It changes depending on my focus. When I was into article writing, I worked 8 hour days. When I moved to social media marketing work I did 5 hours days. But now I am also responsible for a blog, I am up to 8 hour work days. However, I do believe that while you are young, you should push yourself to work 11-14 hour work days, especially if you are interesting in increasing your value by doing some 2 hour technical training during weekdays (for e.g. web development, video creation, java scripting).

about 5 hours daily..

this is put into contacting folks in my space, adding to my email funnel, creating content, going over the info from the day before.

When I worked as a freelancer for clients, I worked 5-6 hours a day but when I started working for myself, I worked 8-10 hour days. I still don't overdo it like work 14-16 hour work days because I still want to spend time with my family.

It depends, and varies day by day but on average 2 hours of "work" when I have school. In my breaks that number goes up to 5-8 hours on average.

A solid 8 hours is normally about right for me, more than that and my productivity takes a nose-dive!

4 - 5 hours per day
I do business on the internet since 16 years (started in 1999/2000), full time income

Hello there,

Really... I see your point in sharing this. See, it matters on how much you earn from your previous job in which you grind from 9 to 5, and how much you earn from your 9-9 job. For me, I work for 8-10 hours depending on workload, I even enjoy having lots of stuff to do, because aside from earning from it, I also enjoy it.

I also believe it's all gonna pay off soon.. I mean, there are LOTS of opportunities in the world of Internet, buddy! You just have to search for these, and be patient and love what you do.

Best of luck to you

I have a daily job too, so it depends on how tired I'm that day. Usually working 3 hours for 3 or 4 days a week keeps things going. Of course in the first years I was always in front of the computer, every night. When I start a new project, I work 5-8 hours with some help from tea and coffee.

Duration of our working days depends on our goals. If your goal is only a certain sum of money, you can work as long as it needed to earn it. If your goal is to find something new in your sphere of business, you can work 24 hours per day. When we do what we like we don't count hours. I work from 4 to 10 hours per day.

Oh Neshaword, he had so much passion but he burnt out so fast. Looking back, it's almost as if someone was paying Neshaword to post here. 😉

To answer the question though, anywhere between 0 and 20 hours depending on what needs done.

It depends on of my ability,
Usually about 4-8 hours per day and have a dayoff in week.

Until I've finished my 3,000 words for the day.

I'm Student and Work on online as a Internet marketer and freelancer on Fiverr. I work about 5-8 hours a day. I feels so bored working but...Listening songs while working keeps me fresh

Right now about 12-15 hours but that's because I've filled my plate. It's broken down like this:

8 hours working on client projects (as project manager). I class this as my bread and butter work, so I work it as a full time job.

3-4 hours on the business blog I've just started. Writing in-depth guides and content, scheduling social media (but also interacting one-to-one on social media), etc.

3-4 hours working on new sites that can be turned into affiliates and the suchlike.

I then spend my evenings reading blogs on how other people are only working 4 hour days and making 6 figures. Self-torture and all that.

An average of 8 hours a day (6-10 on most days) because I really like what I do and I like to learn news things everyday.

It may be tiresome some days but it rarely feels like work.

It took a while to get to this point though. I had to order my inner thoughts first. Now everything feels much better.

As much time as I have to work on my business, that's what I put in each day.

I've found the key to success it just setting a goal and working towards that goal every day until you achieve it. It sounds like a simple concept, but many people get all fired up about a new business venture, only to let it fade after not reaching success in 6 months or so and moving to something else.

It's not work if you love it and see massive results!

The more hours you put in, the more successful and faster you'll reach your goals.

Time is money, invest your time wisely.
