2. Do you usually work after work or on the weekends? BOTH

Hey!
My name is Philena Carter.
I am a Las Vegas musician. I spend generally about 6-8 hours a day on my project, as it is my full time job. I try to keep my personal life separate from my work because before I started doing this, I noticed my days would blend together.

I spend about 20-40 hours a week on my Kickstarter. This includes posting and coordinating with collaborators. I would say the project is my current #1 business priority. I work weekends but also take breaks during the week. I have non-business priorities like exercising and personal relationships to balance.

1. How much time do you spend on your passion project per week?
Aside from product development that had been going on for a year prior to our campaign, here are efforts directly towards the campaign for the two of us:

2 Months before launch: 2-4 hours a day (in addition to working elsewhere full time)
1 Month before launch: 6 hours a day (in addition to working elsewhere full time)
Month during campaign: 6-8 hours a day (first half working full time elsewhere), then 16 hours a day (no longer working elsewhere)
6 Month production and delivery period: 80-100 hours a week (each), one weekend off a month for each. Should be noted in addition to manufacturing our product, there was a ton of time spent doing business development. That may or may not be appropriate to some other campaigns.

2. Do you usually work after work or on the weekends?
Absolutely. The internet does not have a workweek and weekend.

Tom: Thanks for the detailed information.

I really want to finish my current project, so about 40-50 hours a week.
Since I'm the only developer, if I stop, everything stops.

Some days it feels like I'm not doing enough. But I remember quickly that I have a LIFE. And KS is second to my wife and my kids! But I'm working an hour or two on it a day.

Down to 6 days left!

My name is Jason and im from Juneau Alaska. I have a Kickstarter campaign for my candy company. Having some struggles so looking for help. I am spending about 20 hours a week on my project

Hello, I am new here

I have been working full time (unpaid) on my project for 8 months now and I was also working on it throughout my entire final year at University.

I've been working nearly 70-hours per week at the Foozimo startup trying to build an audience and make this project kick ass. I lost my job and got robbed, so I had to move back home and have been doing this for 6 months now. It's all I have right now so I'm hoping for the best! We just launched our Kickstarter today! I'm sure it will continue to be 70-hour work weeks just to promote it. Thanks and good luck to everyone! http://bit.ly/foozimokickstarter​
