Daily Practice Time?

How much time do you devote to practicing/playing your guitar or other musical instruments on a daily basis? I try to fit in an hour a day, but it seems like more often then not I am only able to get a half hour of practice in on a daily basis. I am going to try and increase that in the new year. Just curious how much time some of you are able to spend focused on your guitar.

    I'm terrible for a lot of the time I waste on my laptop, my guitar is right next to my desk. but over the last week I have been playing it again, for the first time in months. So at the moment I'm trying do at least a half hour a day just to get the callouses on the tips of my left hand back, once it's stopped being painful to play for more than a half hour I'll increase it to an hour.
    How I choose to feel is how I am...I will not lose my faith, It's an inside job today.

    I try to put in at least half an hour on each of my three instruments, however I often get caught up on whatever I play first and run out of time. I just can't put it down until I'm completely satisfied with whatever piece I'm working on
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    I definitely play a few hours a day. While watching TV or playing plugged in.
