The 6-Week-Challenge Past Scoreboard will give you some idea. You can click into people's names to see detailed analyses of their studies. Edited by smallwhite on 10 March 2015 at 4:29am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Studying (i.e. the main point of the activity is to learn the language): About 1 hour 90% of days.
Watching movies, reading books, etc with full attention: About 2 hours 40% of days. Listening to podcasts while washing dishes, cookin, riding the bus, etc: About 1 hour 90% of days. Edited by robarb on 10 March 2015 at 6:21am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

From my understanding, the 6 Week Challenge encourages intense studying over a relatively short time period, so there's going to be self-selection bias: the participants are the people who actually have the time to commit to that. So I doubt that it's very representative of what most people do most of the time.
I'd roughly estimate that I do around 2 hours per day of activities where I'm focused: studying, conversation, listening, watching, reading. Plus some background radio/music, but that varies. Generally more background stuff during the week, more focused stuff at the weekend. My progress is very slow, but it's there! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I second garyb. I probably do an hour a day most days, some days I'll do a lot more, some days less. But I always try to do something each day, even it is just watching a 15 minute youtube video.

Zero minute but I do it many times every day.

Usually around 1-2 hours. I aim for an hour and a half but sometimes I go over.

On a bad day - nothing, on a good day - several hours of language-related activities (this may include grammar, exercises, structured studying, but is more likely to mean reading, listening and writing).
