I think most of us work as you do. I do not think the times that people are giving is a true reflection on how much time they are spending on a project. I do not include the time spend rendering, because in my opinion the computer is doing the work and I am off doing something else.

i agree, would have been unexpected that everyone keeps book of their work, unless pro... and rendering is indeed not "work", plus dependent on the hardware quality.

I am exactly the same, I will start, then stop, then start again. Sometimes pause for days, it's so hard to keep a track of time. Not to mention that I might put together the render quickly (clothing, makeup, lights, setting etc) and then get stuck on a minor detail and spend hours trying to perfect that one silly item or find that one prop I absolutely need for the scene. I am a very nitpicky person so I am positive I spend way too much time on things that others probably don't even notice. The hours that I put on my last entries were just rough estimates, I am sure they are nowhere close to reality. 

lol, i absolutely know where you come from with the getting stuck on a minor detail... or the search for that one prop - having tons of GB of purchased items and just not that matching thing for a scene... which will prolly end up being a freebie.
