On average, how much time do you spend on your professional development? When do you do it?

I try to spend time during my own time off the clock, but it’s hard. Often because I just don’t want to pick it up after spending so much time at work. How do you make that work and find time when you have to take it out of your own?

Can depend what I am trying to work towards, it really is hard to work full time and then devote even more time to it afterwards. I try to keep it to blocks of time. Maybe one week I’ll spend an hour every day, then the next week, complete break off of it. Helps me keep motivated to keep working through whatever I am at the time.

That’s great advice. I try to carve out 15 mins a few times a week. Starting to think I should dedicate more time to it at least one time a week.
