About 1 hour first thing in the morning and several times during the day as I check my emails. I consider it time well spent because I use the info. It's like having a good friend. I have put many hints to use, enjoyed hearing others who have the same mishaps as I have, privately celebrated with success stories, and just plain good advice. Also use several of the recipes. I work as a volunteer in a thrift store that benefits the homeless. We have many vintage and orphaned sewing machines donated. I check them out, clean & oil, etc. Hints here are a big help with that.
