How much time per day do you spend comping?

I have experimented with 4 hours a day (in the evening) with much success, but the time sink has really go me down so I have pulled back to an hour at most a day with as expected lesser results. I find it hard to balance with a full time job and social life.

How long do you find yourself spending on comping per day and what experiences have you had with balancing "normal life" and comping life?

2 hours a day at most. Can't be bothered with anymore

But as I'm up to date on all the comp threads, I rarely do more than an hour a day.

About 2 hours. Usually do my Goodreads for 30 minutes every Monday

1 hours a day Monday-Thursday maybe 1 and a half on Friday and 30 minutes on Saturday and Sunday, End of month about 2 hours and if a Friday 3 hours. Then the first day of the month a extra 30 minutes. lol.

An hour or 2 a day for me. I don't usually bother with C2W's or mag dailies. I'll ocassionally do one entry for a mag daily or a C2W but don't do it every day. I do the comps on the main board and a couple of the ITV postal ones but I usually skip a lot of competitions posted. I only tend to enter things I actually want and don't just enter for the sake of trying to win something.

I'd say usually about 2 hours too, a good time to do so really.

Then obviously weekends i'd spend more, like an extra hour here and there.

An hour to 2 hours. Somedays I dont have time but try and catch up and just enter the biggies.

An hour in the mornings as I am an early riser. Then 30 mins when I get in from work with a cup of tea and whatever else I can squeeze in during the evenings. Max of 3 hours a day!

It depends really, sometimes I will spend around 2 hours in the evening after the little ones go to bed but because I'm a bit of a night owl I could spend a bit more time doing C2Ws when I'm not tired. I have currently changed jobs and will be soon starting nights so I have no idea when I will fit comping in although I'm sure I can find some time :rotfl:
