I have been on very little this week because of business demands and feeling a little on the piqued side. Usually I am more engaged but a break every now and then isn't a bad thing.

Hi Alan May I log in to AR on my way to the shower.  After that it's pretty hit and miss throughout the day.

1.  Facebook.  I am there at least an hour a day and sometimes more because it really brings in the business.

2.  AR.  If I'm working on a blog, probably an hour.  If I'm just playing on the Q&A section, 30 minutes.  

3.  The rest of em.  LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram only get minutes a day.
