Default How much time do you spend on the computer...

a day?

I was thinking about this the other day because between work and scrapping I'm glued to the computer all day it seems.

I'm almost embarassed to admit that I probably spend at least 6-8 hrs a day on the computer?

How about you?

12 hours on most days... that is a guess though. A lot. You'd think I'd have more done in that amount of time. LOL

It completely depends on whether or not I'm scrapping. If I'm just surfing maybe 1-2 ours a day. If I'm scrapping I can easily spend 3-4.

Well I have a job outsite the home most days. I'm a newspaper editor so it's a very computer-oriented job. Also I design all night after my boys go to bed
So, yeah, a lot of time I guess.

All the time it seems. I'm going to say about 8 hours a day, the bulk being from 8 pm-12 or 1 am when the kids are in bed. I just sit there after that scrapping, surfing the web, whatever. I do spend about the same amount in the morning/early afternoon for work. Normally in the afternoons/early evenings I am with the kids. That's how my "schedule" is LOL

Well, I'm hardly ever on Monday-Thursday because I work about 12 hrs a day as an orthodontic assistant... so I don't use a computer at work. Fri/Sat/Sun though...I make up for lost time. It depends on what else I have going on, but pretty much every free minute is spent on the sofa with Lucy (my laptop).

on and off all day here too. Some days I'm not on at all (errand days...Wed and half of Friday). But all other is fair game. From 11-2 we are usually napping and doing lunch...from 6-8 we are usually doing dinner and bathing but other than that....I'm here a lot! It depends on Naomi's mood totally though.

Pretty much all day...I live in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do, so while the kids are playing, I'm here. LOL!

I log on as soon as I get up in the morning and stay on until my niece gets here....then on again while she is napping and then again when she goes home until I have to make dinner, then again after ( most nights ) so I would say about 6-8 hours.

Another off and on all day-er here!!! Whenever I can grab a few minutes here and there I do. It's like 15 minutes on...15 minutes off...... rinse and repeat. Until about 3:30PM and then I have all four kids at home and I need to start dinner and help with homework. I don't usually get on much after that because by the time I get dinner done and all four kids in bed, I am ready for bed!!!

Before baby #4 was born I would get on a night to becuase I was staying up later, but now that middle of the night feedings are back in my life....I'm not such a night owl anymore. I am sure once he starts sleeping through the night I'll be able to stay up later and have a bit more playing time!!!

I'm on and off all day. If Ian's nursing, then I'm sitting at the computer, typically. I'm back at work now. So, most of my time is after Aidan is in bed. I'd have to guestimate that I spend 3-4 hours on the computer, but I know it's more.

Probably close to 13-15 hours... I work on a computer all day and then I come home and sit in front of this one.

Ummmmm probably too much! I jump on for little bits during the day while the children are awake (like now...they are running wild) but usually my best puter time is in the evening until the wee hours. I just can't help myself. If the computer isn't turned on in the morning I feel lost. Probably means that I'm addicted doesn't it lol!

I used to spend "too much" time here when the weather was colder but I've gotten busy and my kids want to be outdoors (and require supervision outside) so now I have less time here. It is really making it hard to scrap! I just uploaded my first LO I had a chance to finish since March 22nd!!!

I am about to start stuffing 1000 envelopes for my dad's fiance (she's paying me) so I might hardly be online at all the next bit of time!

If you don't spend time on the computer it's almost overwhelming to know what to do when you get on!

I'm on it all day (somehow not yesterday since we were out of the house) but I use it at work then I come home and I'm either shopping, chatting, or scrapping in the evening. Way too much!

I'm on a lot between noon and 6pm surfing and scrapping, in between cleaning & playing with the kids. I work a couple mornings a week on it for a couple hours and am about to start a job online with 4 hour shifts. I turn off the computer at 7pm & rarely get back on after that unless I have a work shift
