How much do you study go each day?
I'm just curious: How much time in your day do you devote to studying go (approximate median)?
Edit: Poll has a typo. "6 hours or more" should read "More than 6 hours".

Typically more on workdays than non-workdays =)
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

Re: How much do you study go each day?
I do 2 tsumego after I wake up and 2 before I go to bed (about Gokyo Shumyo level tsumego). With the occasional commentary analysis at GoGameWorld and the reviewing of my own games (including the Malkovich games), I'd say that's about an hour a day or so?

I voted 30 min - 1 hour, but it's probably more "I just play, don't study much". I'm going through Get Strong at Invading again, but it's either still too hard for me, or the organization doesn't really work for reading it casually.

Occasionally I do one or two tsumegos.
Occasionally I play a game too.

I also do a few Tsumegos in the morning and the evening, and I'll play through either a pro game or one of my own pretty regularly.
Patience, grasshopper.

Re: How much do you study go each day?
Varies between 30 minutes and more than two hours. At the moment it's more like 30 minutes, but seeing how much guys from my last Go club have improved I need to get serious again ^^
I'm reading Attack and Defense right now and doing 1001 Life and Death Problems.

Re: How much do you study go each day?
Marked myself down as 30 minutes or less. Haven't really been doing much serious studying at all. Every once in a while right before I turn the lights out I'll read from one of my Go books, but even that has been pretty limited (that's what I get for going to bed so late -- and here I am posting at 3am on the forums again
).
Do get some "study" done with reading the forum here. One of the reasons I really love following the Malkovich games and also reading over the game analysis threads. So my study comes from you guys! Thanks

Re: How much do you study go each day?
I don't study that much, my day ends with me logging onto KGS in the evening and watching/playing some games or just replaying pro games and some reading. I try to do a few tsumego problems before I sleep, but I would say that in a day I only study for about an hour or so.
