How Much Time Do We All Spend Online A Day?


I spend honestly between ten to sixty minutes a day mostly watching the banter on this site. rarely do I ad to much. I am a capitalist and a damb good carpenter. I focus most of my energy on building good reputation (in the real world). I want to know how some of you find the time. I'm not trying to retaliate on anyone. nor am I condemning any of you.
I am however stirring the pot.

Re: How Much Time Do We All Spend Online A Day?


I choose to spend my time how I see fit, especially when I can benefit from learning something new, all the time, especially on this site and a few roofing specific ones.

My crew handles the jobs and my secretary handles the office and I spend just enough time selling to keep everybody happy and working full time.

I still remain a part time Stay At Home Dad, for my 5 year old and when he goes to kindergarten next year, I will do the same.

Once that is through, from everything I am told, the years just flip by way too quick when he is growing up, so I spend a lot of time at home, like as much as business-wise possible, to enjoy watching him grow and to give him some great reflective memories about his dad when he grows up.

He helps me out sometimes putting in smilies and I let him loose on Noggin and PBS Kids for him to enjoy using the computer too.
