How much time do you spend planning and building your project every day?

Hey everyone! 👋

I have a question for people who are currently building or have already completed large AI, trading, or software projects.

I’m currently building my own AI trading project, and I’m trying to figure out how to manage my time better.

I’d like to know:

⏰ How much time do you spend each day?

How many hours do you usually spend planning?
How many hours do you spend actually building/coding?
How much time do you spend on testing, debugging, research, and learning?
Do you work on the project every day, or do you take specific days off?

📝 How do you plan your day?

Do you have a specific daily routine, such as:

Planning → Research/Learning → Building → Testing → Reviewing → Planning the next day

Or do you use a completely different workflow?

I’d also like to know how you decide what to work on each day when the project is large and there are many things that need to be done.

💡 Advice for other builders

For people who have already completed large projects:

How many hours per day do you think is a realistic and sustainable amount of time to spend on a serious project?

I’m not asking how many hours someone can work in one day—I’m more interested in what schedule you can realistically maintain for months without burning yourself out.

If you could share your own daily routine or time-management method, it would really help me understand how experienced developers approach long-term projects.

Thanks! 🙏
