I work for myself.
It used to be 9-10 hours, often more. But not every day. Some days I'd pack it up early and go out and exercise. I'd also waste 30 minutes or more on a coffee break just because I could.
Then I had a kid.
So now I get a window of about exactly 8 hours every day that I need to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of.
Damn, I should close this tab now and get back to work.

generally speaking:
9:30-5:00 ....usually take about a 1 hr lunch break...
don't work weekends.
occasionally do some work in the evenings (very rare)
----
used to put in a fair bit more til I had kids (much like nocomply)
now i keep the freelance to a minimum, and try to be as productive as possible during the day.... my kids are getting older now (13 and 10) so there's lots of activities to take them to etc, things to do after school etc... so that pretty effectively puts the kibosh on working in the evenings.... which is fine by me....

10 years ago I worked for a trends mag, monthly issued, savage closings. In that days, with 25 years, I often did shifts of 30+ hours, napping and doing coke. Last time I tried to work all night after an 8 shift, I had to stop at 4am, and then it took me a couple of days to repair my brain.

Time doesn't seem to exist, but light and darkness does. I try and sleep 8 hours a day. If I'm not sleeping, I'm working. When I'm working, I'm having fun doing something I want to do, while taking care of the necessities. I listen to music, watch movies, breakfast, lunch, dinner, drink beer and indulge in life's offerings while working. I'm on 24 hours a day/ 7 days a week and try to use my time wisely.

Anywhere from 4-16 hours a day. Plenty of cig breaks and ganja - and red wine is allowed after 3pm. I'm often working weekends which is a bit shit but sometimes necessary.
