How many hours do you put into freelance work?
It actually depends on what I'm working on. If it's a pressing job, I might put on 5 to 6 hours on it daily which can be very stressful. This is why I don't usually take on jobs which are pressing because I like to work on my own pace and do a good job.- Heatman
