Do you practice everyday, and if so, do you break up your practice time or do you practice for 3 hours all at once?

I just thought to edit this post and extent my questioning: What is your practice routine (i.e. start with scales, move to a picking exercise, work on that pesky passage, etc and so on)
I practice 30 minutes - 45 minutes a day, depending on how much time I have and how much I feel like doing and what I have to do.
I start with scales and a few stretching or picking exercises, then move on to some easier songs.
I do quite a bit of fingerpicking, so then I spend some time running through some pieces.
After that I work on a few of the harder songs I have.

As soon as I pick up my guitar, it's hard to let go of. So my practice routines are over 3 hours like you said. I usually mess around for a few minutes, like jamming and stuff, then I practice songs.
