Right now, if you count my 'day job', I am putting in close to 12 hours a day including my commute. Personally, I think that is too much. My morning/evening routines usually involve some form of relaxation, even if it is non-productive fiddling about on the computer (like right now). If I were working at something I enjoyed, 12 hours might not be overmuch, it all depends on what I would be doing. Lately, my weekends/holidays have been 'working parties' where I put in 8 hours/day working on my house, before I need to stop/eat/etc. Once I stop, it's hard for me to get going again, so I usually just sit back and relax afterwards. Then again, this is after my workaday routine. When I was in the Military, the general theme was 'move like you have a purpose', and I was expected to be 'on duty' 24 hours a day. I don't do that anymore...
