How much time?

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html
This may seem an odd set of questions, but I'm trying to get more organized about my gardening now that my house is getting under control.  I'm wondering how much time you-all spend on gardening during the growing months, and how you divide it up.  If you run short of time or energy, what are the high priority things you feel you must absolutely keep up with.  What things do you feel you can safely put off?  Do you have a daily, weekly, monthly schedule that you follow?  The only thing I'm really being consistent about is doing a good watering once a week if there hasn't been rain.  And the veg bed and rest of yard show it.  Any advice welcomed. 
 
BTW, using a search engine, I found an article in American Demographics that said most gardeners (60%) spend about 5 hours a week, and then more serious gardeners range up to 15 hours a week. (This includes lawn care.)  I wonder where Square Foot gardeners fall, since we are using time- and labor-saving methods.
