I tend to start working late, between 9 and 10. Trying to get into an earlier regimen though. Sometimes I go to the gym shortly after the business lunch crowd, other times I run in the neighborhoods nearby.
I usually work till around 6, sometimes later. Break just long enough for lunch, then back to it. I check in on the wife and son now and then throughout the day (my wife works at her office two days a week). I basically work right up until dinner time, then I commute the 6 feet from my office to the kitchen for dinner. Spend time with wife and son at night. Sometimes I work for an hour or two after dinner, but that's pretty rare. Occasionally I'll do some work on Saturdays, mostly admin or fiddling with my business plan. Sundays are for worship, rest, relaxation.
Some days it seems like I get nothing done... occasionally I have to watch my son on days when my wife works. I get almost nothing done except for emails on those days.
I've realized that roughly 50 hours of fully paid work per month covers our bills and a bit of spending cash. Not that I'm content to sit back and work a shorter week, though. It's funny, I feel guilty when I don't put in at least 8 hours a day. I guess I'm a tough boss.
