How do you find time when you work 8 hours jobs or sometimes longer than that and still find time to play World of Warcraft?

I can play from usually 0 minutes to a couple hours on work days. I usually use it for overwatch dailies. But I have been using it for remix. I haven’t played live in weeks. I am so behind and the new mythic 0s feel weird. But remix is nice definitely enjoying cosmetic collecting there and leveling alts.
Don’t take it seriously and/or time management.
It’s not actually a second job, no matter how many people like to treat it as such.
2-4 hours is plenty for me. I use it to wind down.

Your commitment will determine your effort. No different than your actual job.
Want yo raid, dungeon, collect, quest more? That takes more time. What are you sacrificing? Likely sleep. Can’t blame anyone, but yourself, for sleeping less, to play a game, more.
So that’s how you find time - with the time you have remaining in a day - while balancing “life”. If you can’t pay your bills, you can’t afford to play WoW (or sub to Netflix!).
Adulting sucks. But… you’re also an Adult and can do, annnnnnytthingggg!

I have no kids so that’s already like 20 hours per week other people are spending and I’m not. Since I have no kids, I also don’t have to earn as much to live comfortably so I can afford my life on 14 hours of work per week (but I work 60).
20 hours per week of WoW is more than enough to do whatever you want in game imo

Ah you know, things like ignoring my wife, ignoring my real world responsibilities, and letting my life fall apart around me.
Normal stuff.

You just have to choose what you want to do. I work 8-10 hours a day and draw comics in my free time and play WoW on Saturdays.
Since Remix though I just haven’t drawn and have focusing on WoW.

a day has 24 hours in it man, assuming you use 10 for work and 8 for sleep (honestly overworking but anyway) that leaves 6 hours a day. Knock off another hour for cooking eating and washing you got 5 hours for gaming. What are you spending all your time on that leaves you with none for wow?

For me it’s work then gym then I get a few hours or so to play a night (I sleep late) unless I go out after work. It’s easy as long as you’re ok with not having to login everyday and just play casually.

Just be efficient with your game time when you play. Make schedules with friends. Log in, accomplish what you need to accomplish and log out. You ain’t got time to be kicking pebbles around Org. Log in, cap arena, log out. Or if you pve… go slay a dragon or get a piece of welfare gear in a raid, then log out.

Time management and Efficiency when it comes to my game time. I’m not logging in to sit in SW/Org/Val all day to talk in trade wasting my time, I’m here to do things and get rewards. I sleep 8 hrs during the day and work 9 at night, leaving me 7 hrs to eat, chores, and game. I take full advantage of that time to do what I set as a goal the night before while working.
Am I after the latest gear? Okay raids/Mythic +. Am I after a mount/rep? Okay that’s the grind for the day. Do I want a specfic achievement? That’s the goal for the next day or week to achieve. I did that for remix and have everything bought already, so now my next goal is picking my class for TWW, along with figuring out what I’m doing in my time up until then as well. Think I might do 7 Days to Die with it’s 1.0 Unstable release on the 24th with a couple hours of running some old raids for chances at the mounts I’m missing.
Also plan your meals out ahead of time of what you are going to eat. Sandwiches are quick and easy, if making something like fries and nuggets, then its just a matter of using the down time to do things while it cooks, be it some dailies or inventory management with the AH. In the 20 Mins it takes to cook them, I made 60k gold selling off my inventory on the AH for old world mats that I gathered up.
Doing a few keys is easy. I’m more curious how people have tens of thousands of posts and hold down a job and regular life with friends, families, and other hobbies.
It’s replaced my tv viewing time. What I mean is that after I get home, do the important things like laundry, I then wind down by playing WoW for an hour or two instead of watching tv to wind down.

How many hours per day do you think is needed to play the game? I do anywhere from 15-25 hours per week depending on other obligations and find that’s plenty of time for a fun experience.
Lately more of that time goes into youtube and wowhead and the forums since my brain is pretty much in TWW mode at this point, but I still consider that WoW time for now.
