   I usually do some kind of activity daily - especially at the moment as I'm doing the apprenticeship. But I also like to keep up with my favourite writers as well so if I'm not writing myself I like to read their hubs and leave comments and so on. I tend to visit Hub Pages after I see to my e-mails, it's like a daily routine now.

   Not daily... my life and my schedule does not allow for this.  But, I 'think' of HP daily.  I have a notebook I keep with me that I jot ideas for hubs in; I also keep my camera with me and shoot away when something catches my eye for future hubs.   
   
   Ideally, I would have my computer up all day long, I would be HOME working, and I would be minus one family member living with me to absorb so much of my time with his neediness.

   Yes, some type of Hub activity everyday has become a habit or a regular routine, if you may call it like that. Asking questions, writing answers, commenting  and reading other's hubs is a daily affair and I am happy if I am able to write one hub per week/ a fortnight.  But there is more to life apart from the online world, which needs my attention. So it depends, how much time I can manage, depending upon the priorities.

    I try to go through a few hubs to check for typos, grammatical errors etc. Quite recently, Hubpages have included two additional symbols( Zs & clockwise and ant-clockwise arrows) for hubs that are not doing well and those that are idling, respectively. I have been spending some time trying to transform or update these poorly performing hubs as much as I can. Occasionally, I also try to answer a few questions if I think I have useful or appropriate answers. It's a pleasure to comment on hubs now and then, if the subject matter is one that I can add any meaning conversation to.

    pagesvoice  That is a yes for me. Hubpages gets into your blood, at least for me it has. When I turn on the computer the first place I go is hp.  From there I usually read at least a couple of hubs, check my account activity and or answer comments so on. Then if I do not get lost on other sites mine included I will start a hub or edit one I have written. I have gotten better and spend less time at the hubs, other priorities in life.  I have figured out if I intend to publish a hub that is first prioity write, then go hub hopping. One could spend hours jsut reading and commenting, which I have done on several occassions.
