How much time do you spend programming?

Me about 13 ~ 15 on WEB programming when musn't go to the university, else 6 ~ 8
sorry for bad english
In a typical day during university term time, about 6 hours a day. Then in the couple of weeks before a deadline, more like 14. I suck at motivation.
What did you mean you suck on motivation ? You're working just of the need ?
Typical day, about 5-7 hours...but this is integrated between Photoshop and programming. I've been working on a web-based application for more than a year now and I finished it couple of weeks back but I'm doing a re-haul of the code and design so it's just taking me forever. But typical day, about 5-7 hours of personal programming. During university, its substantially more especially depending on whether I have a project due.

It depends on how the day went, sometimes I don't even bother, other times I'll be up til 4AM. So I would say that I spend between 0 and 4 hours per day.

I was off from work for a total of 4 days, I spent the entire 4 days programming and most of the time up until 4 am in the morning.

During university time: between 0 - 4 hours.
No school but work: 2 - 6.
No school OR work (amazing): 4 - 16 (I spent almost my entire vacation from work programming :D)

Mind you, as others have said, this is also including time with GIMP etc.

FIX IT.
I'm afraid to say that I too haven't been coding (seriously) for quite some time.. I got stuck on finding the map to install SFML in on my Mac and went off playing with applications and listening music. I plan on programming for real again after I learn some vector maths (heh :P) and installed SFML.

Sorry to hear that. What industry are you in? I've been through 2 layoffs and 2 acquisitions in the past 6 years which drove me back into consulting. I'll tell you this, the most my wife and I enjoyed life in a while was when I was unemployed. Sure there is the unknown and financial strains you face, but you have time to pursue activities you never would of been able to.

As far as how much time I spend... 1.5 hr drive to work (coding in my head), 9 hour work day (business apps) minus forum breaks :), 1.5 hour drive home (same), core programming on and off until 10pm. So pretty much most of my life is programming at the moment. If for some reason I'm not, I can be found reading some sort of computer science book.

Why don't you think about freelancing ? No need to spend 3 hours on driving :) and you can be in home with your wife.
@jankidudel consultant == freelancing
I spend about 6 hours a day programming sometimes more depending on what im doing
so is about 6-8 hours a day.
