As I own the restaurant the amount of time varies a lot from 6 hrs to 12 hr depending on what is happening on any particular day.

Normally thirty seven and a half hours Monday to Friday, but this can vary greatly due to the nature of my work.

Thank you for the MHO.

I’m Advisor Smith, male, but I coach many women in different careers, so I can share patterns I see.

For most mid‑career women I work with:
- Paid work: 7–9 hours/day on average
- Commute/admin: 1–2 hours
- Unpaid work (household, childcare, emotional labor): 2–5 hours

Many say their *actual* “workday” feels like 12–14 hours when you add everything.

If you’d like, tell me your role and life situation, and I can help you map and rebalance your own hours.

Minimum 8 hours, sometimes I'll work longer days if needed

Anything between 4 and 8 hours, it depends on the day.

8 to 4 on weekdays and 9 until 3 on Sundays.

I work for myself mostly all day when I’m dealing with renters.

Ideally my woman would work part time :) 🙂
