do you guys have an allocated amount of time that you put towards your site each day

I set an absolute limit of 24 hours of working on my sites per day. Although I give myself an extra hour of time once a year (daylight savings time switch) for good measure. :)

We're a 7/24 shop, so I check e-mails and the sites throughout the day, including just before going to bed and first thing when I wake up. And I have monitoring to alert me with text messages to my cell phone if the site is down.

I do try to force myself to take extended breaks. And most of the time I succeed, except for the times I have a pressing project to finish. Then I can rarely relax until it's done.
