It varies a lot: from less than 1 hour if I have no work at all (just to check my emails) to sometimes from dusk till dawn (if I’m involved in a very long project like the one I finished yesterday). In principle, today it will be around 3 hours, I have a very small translation to do (367 words) and my monthly invoices and then… relax (unless something unexpected comes up: that’s the life of a freelancer)!

I presumed the question referred to a computer screen. It will be longer if I add my smartphone and my TV…

Around 10? Dec 9, 2023

It's hard to tell because I work from home, so I go from my computer to other rooms often. Also, it really depends on the day. I'm considering desktop + cellphone + TV + Kindle, so I figure around 10 hours? I voted 13 -16 because I wasn't thinking of small breaks.
In any case, it's not a healthy amount, and I should really spend more time on other things.
