#poll How much do you juggle?
thk 4 telling! .. [if your shedule is not represented above, please choose whatever comes near your practice (lately / ever / under condition)]
This is a competition thread which ran from 21st Jun 2015 to 21st Jul 2015. View results.
Let twirling, swinging, unicycling, handstands (=balancing=juggling your own weight), balancing, poiing, prop-flowing, diaboloing, astrojaxxing, .. anything, you wish to call "juggling" be included.
Usually 4-5 times a week, during school weeks scheduled practice 3 days a week (Wednesday 1½ hours, Thursdays 2 hours and Sundays 3 + 1½ hours). Once or twice at home between that, but that's usually just half an hour. During holidays/summer usually shorter sessions (unless I'm at a convention) but still 4-5 times a week.
So somewhere between 5 and 6. I choose number 5... Even if a normal week has 8-9 hours of practice, it's more common that it is less than that it is more. It's also more common that a day has less than 1 hour practice than that it has more (normal weeks have 3 days with more than 1 hour practice and 4 days with less than 1 hour or no practice).
I'm a hobbyist and not aiming to make a living of juggling (I already have a full time job that's not juggling related at all)... It would be fun to perform a little every now and then if I had the skills to entertain an audience, but I don't think I have that and I'd rather spend my the time practicing juggling than practice entertaining.

Most weeks level 5, occasionally spiking up to level 6. This doesn't include intensive events like festivals, of course.

When Ī'm feeling like a juggler, like for the last 7 days I get in about a level 5. I've peaked higher years ago, but didn't see much faster improvements. Up until last week I'd have been at a level 2 for quite some time, so I've been slacking.

I too have been slacking. 3 - 4 is my current score.
I am just beginning all of this, and I wish I could say that I had time to practice all day everyday. Unfortunately, that is not the case. With my full time job as a mom to my 2 children, my 40hr/wk $$ job, and taking 9 credits in college, I can only squeeze in about an hour a day Sun - Thurs,and probably 7-9 hrs total Fri & Sat. It's not where I'd like to be, but it will do for now.

8 hours a week since one year.
Time training is my only goal each year and I'm tracking it carefully (using some iphone app each time I juggle)
Now looking for 10 hours in average and probably 15-20 hours a week next year when I'll quit my job.
(juggling balls only)
This poll has now ended. The results are:
Thanks again, Marvin, for sorting out the results!
Wow .. so many (25 votes) took part! Thanks!
( That >=4 hours was me .. guess Ethan would be "9.", way more )
Would have predicted 2 to 4 hours per week would be average, but its nice to see more are doing round an hour per day / 5 to 7 per week in average.
Would have liked to find more compassionates doing serious amounts of lifetime, but well .. constantly an hour/day average is pretty `serious´ to pursue.
Btw, 25 participants is already expressable as percentage of all nearly 900 Edge-members .. like every 36.-th member found the poll and voted. Taking into account there's many inactive or didn't find the poll, that's maybe round every twentieth Member, (which, I think, is sort of palpable as a group in a crowd).
Is that a request for the poll results from Marvin to include the total number of people who voted (and that number as a percentage of people registered on Juggling Edge)?
No no, just meant to visualize the numbers (as a comment on the poll results and the many took part) in relation to `the whole´.
Hypothetically... if you were to do that, then it'd be interesting show not just the percentage of votes against total people registered, but maybe against users active in last week|month|year. Could also filter with && post_count > 0.
Thinking about it... are these on any of the reports (I've never actually read them)
