All day... At least that's how it seems. I often work a 12 hour day but not all that time is actually spent writing code. Like others have said, being in the right frame of mind is key. Coding isn't like other things where you just have to force yourself and practice. When you code and you're not in "the zone" it often feels like you never sat down to write code at all. That said, there are times you will have to force yourself anyway. As a beginner I would tackle a project you think is really interesting and work on it until it turns out as you'd imagined. Copying things others have already done is a great way to learn if you don't cheat and just copy/paste their code and call it yours.
