I Know that most of us are always 'working' between house, kids, biz, hubby whatever. But what is your breakdown. How many hours do you try and spend on your business in a day or a week?

I have about 50-60hrs each week that I care for other people's children and also have another business that I work at when I have a spare moment and some in the evenings. Pretty much if I am not doing housework or attending to bussiness outside of our home I am doing some kind of "work for profit."

I spend more time researching than actually working! lol One of my jobs has been to investigate work from home opportunities to see if they are legitimate or not. Then I post about them at: http://mommyspace.blogspot.com/ . That takes so much time that I don't have a lot of time for anything else! I probably spend 4 hours a day researching and maybe 1 actually working. If my kids get to bed at a reasonable hour I spend as much as 3 hours working. I suppose it's all work, but the pay off for the research isn't paying off just yet, but I'm sure learning a lot!

I work about 12 hrs. a week right now, but I am getting ready to increase that. I spend a lot of time at wahm.com researching different jobs.

I used to work for 2 hours in the morning after sending my hubby to office,feeding my baby and completing the lunch.If my kid sleeps more than 2 hours then my work time is also 3 hours.so it depends on how long my kid sleeps.Then in the evening one hour.Late night after finishing all the work upto 12 i used to work.

It is harder when you have young ones. my kids are both in school so that helps. But there are still all the doc appt, shopping, errands, cooking, cleaning, homework, sports....well you get the idea. I try to do about 25 - 30 hours a week on my business projects.

I think that I spend about 8 hours a week. I would work more from home but my children make too much background noise.
