    Salaried work, less than 10 hours a week.
    Serious work on my website about hour a week (not counting reading forums etc)
    Volunteer work around 12 hours per week.

    Hi Bayview, hope your doing well.
    Good move on the workshop, which you obviously still have.

    50 average here. Been as high as 60 in previous years but promised myself I'd slow down a bit this year.

    Normal 9-5:30 corporate hamster wheelin', so 40ish hours. Though with some conference calls need with overseas teams there are sporadic late night or super early morning 30-45min work calls- I can rock up to work late if I'm up at 2am for a business Skype which is nice.

    I vote for 3 weekdays and 4 weekends.
    Everyone naps between 12-3pm like they do in Spain, or retirement homes - can't remember which one

    (FIFO work on rigs/boats)

    I'm on an EA. I work 4 days a week. No weekends. A guarantee of 152 hours pay a month, usually they have to top up my hours to the 152. We do day work 0500 to 1440. Or afternoons 1400 to finish which can be as early as 1900. Anytime we turn up we are guaranteed 6 hours. 5 weeks holiday a year. Cant complain!
