What is your day like?

I am curious for those of you who regularly post on BP to hear a little about how you spend your time. Are you full time in another career during the day and real estate at night? Or are you full time in real estate and if so, how much time a day are you spending on your business? Is it mostly managing tenants or finding deals? 

I will start out. I have a 7:30AM-5:30PM M-F day job in marketing (non real estate). I spend some nights and weekends looking at real estate, but really comes in spurts. I manage my own properties and do many of my own repairs. I am probably spending on average 8 hours a month on that portion, more when I have a vacancy. 

I am curious to hear how others spend their day.
