Poll: how much personal time per loaf?

From starting bread to having bread, overnight.

Actually messing around with the bread and the starter, about
five minutes.

I use a bread machine, set allow the bread to rise three times,
one and half hours each rise. I pile in the ingredients,
including a big batch of well fermented starter at night, and
the bread is ready in the morning.

After I put in the ingredients in the breadmaker, I add some
more flour and milk to the remaining starter, and put the starter in a
jar, stir well, put the jar in a paper bag, in a warm oven to
ferment overnight, so that I will have starter for the next
loaf next time.

In the morning, I take the starter out of the now cold oven and
put it in the fridge, and the bread out of the bread machine.
If the starter smells a bit off when I take it out of the oven
I freshen the starter before putting it into the fridge by
giving it a bit more flour and milk. The starter continues to
froth in the fridge, though more slowly of course.

The maximum rise time the breadmaker allows is one and a half
hours per proofing. To get a reasonable rise in the limited
time that a breadmaker permits, needs lots of good starter.
