I used to study more, but now I struggle to do more than an hour.

This is my philosophy too. My schedule is too hectic to set aside a certain amount of time every day, but I try to do
something in at least two languages every day. I usually do a little bit of study in the morning and more at night,
and recently I've also begun reading in foreign languages on my breaks at work. That usually comes out to
anywhere from a half-hour to three hours a day. I could probably do more, but I have a full-time job and I like to
get a lot of sleep.

Huzzah for sleep!

This sounds like a pretty natural study routine. I do roughly an hour to two hours a day. 30-45 minutes of Pimsleur,
and the rest is made up of reading (more like trying to comprehend) novels, anki, learning language books and
listening to radio.

Half an hour a day when I can.

Slow and steady.. that's the best you can do when you get a job and get married

Yeah... Unless you're married to a foreigner, or work with language!

I study roughly an hour each day in both my languages. Classes at school are 42 minutes long, then I usually study at home for about 20 minutes.

I generally spend between 3 and 4 hours per day studying. I am actively working on Latin, Italian, Portuguese, and Japanese. As they are in various states of learning (Latin - beginner; Italian and Japanese - Intermediate; and Portuguese (advanced) I have different study routines and areas of concentration for each. I tend to do lots of reading in all of my language and as a consequence, my speaking capabilities is reduced. Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to do this full time otherwise I'd spend much more time per day.

I do two 30-minute passes of Pimsleur daily (during my commute, if it's on a work day), but how much I study beyond that varies quite a bit. I've also been doing significant amounts of immersion lately (music, videos, podcasts, etc.), but that amount varies greatly and is somewhat different than active studying (albeit still important).

Once I finish Pimsleur Korean II and move onto a different study method, though, this will have to change quite a bit since my studying will no longer be audio-only (and thus won't be as commute-friendly as Pimsleur).
