How many hours per day (or per week) would you say are working/focused on a computer screen? And does this spill over in to weekend hours?

Working 40 hours, other 25 hours...so 65 hours total.

More than enough for my poor little eyeballs.

No. Weekends are for living and sleeping.

34 hours per week for work.
At home on my own projects, 3 hours per night mon-fri and then another 11 hours each weekend.
60 hours per week on average.

Probably 16-18 hours per day, including weekends and holidays.
Because I love doing this shit.

I am inclined to agree with this number in terms of "focused" on a screen. I am including smartphone, video gaming, television, and just recreational computer use to browse information. Certainly not all of those hours are "working"; those hours aren't even because "it's fun." This is just modern life. Unless you're are hiking, driving, swimming, boating or fishing, odds are that you are looking at a screen. You'll notice I left out eating; it is getting very hard to find a restaurant without TVs!

rather asking how many hours u spend checking your phone would be more in touch with the times ..for working ...there are robots , ai etc ...

Checking my phone consumes a total of less than 1 minute per day.
I use about 5 minutes per day blocking numbers from unsolicited sales calls.

I was more interested in coding and writing articles / blogs.
I'm curious how I compare with others. I find as I'm getting older that my eyes and my back are less tolerant of the developer way of life.
When I was younger 60 to 70 hours was the norm. Now, around 35 hours, and my weekend backlog of personal projects doesn't seem to get touched.

About 14 hrs/day on weekdays and 12 hrs/day on most weekends.

anywhere from 0 - 20 hours a day 2 - 7 days a week depending on the mood.
less actual work if decided to binge watch some series. (wears out the old eyeballs, none left for work.)
... reminds me, haven't done the last GOT yet.

~5 hours per day - 5 days per week
Weekends... I sometimes spend 30-60 minutes with my Chromebook. Most home tasks can be done with my tablet.

Around 8 hours per day and fully focused, maybe 4 hours per day.
and never on the week-ends.
I'd rather be phishing!

For work, the hours that are paid. No pay, no work.

I am a developer, there's never a need to work in the weekend. My weekend is for my personal projects, some cooking, and some games.

Hours at work per day actually working in front of a screen: 5-6
Hours at work per week: 48-50 (usually includes at least two Saturdays a month)
Last night was an exception...up at 11:30 and work until 3:30 doing a bi-annual azure database archive/rebuild process. Up at 8:00 again for another client's special budget request that they need yesterday. (due tomorrow!)

The real question is : How many hours per day you are looking at that black mirror ( computer, phone, tv, tablet, advertising billboards etc.etc. ) ?

For me, it depends on the how nicely the week was scheduled because I know wich is following step for everything, in that case, my working/focused raise to the top, otherwise, I would say, maybe one hour per day and as all we know, the nice scheduling is like a chimera...

averaging 60-65 hours for work,maybe another 20 off work hours, and lately 4-6 hours each weekend day (mostly work).
salary and deadlines suck.

45 to 50 hours per week at the job, nothing job-related on weekends. Just personal stuff (non-coding) at home.
