I pray the Rosary,when I take a walk,and depending on how long of a walk,I say it three times one way while walking,I also say it when I drive in my car,and than when I am in church,or when I,am at home,mostly in the afternoon,or evening.
 
Didn’t vote as the times really vary for me. I pray the Rosary daily, however, it could be any time of the day, or multiples times depending on how busy my schedule is.
 
I pray the 4 Mysteries usually the first 4 days of the week (Mon-Th) and I do my “daily decade” as prescribed through the ULRA 7 days a week. Generally when I’m praying the rosary I do so before noon because I work a second shift schedule. Sometimes I pray it after I get home from work, between 11pm-12am.

My rosary goes everywhere with me – it’s the last thing I check when I’m leaving the house to make sure I have it. I pray the rosary every day – my first two decades I pray with my first cup of coffee – then the 3rd decade I often say with EWTN site – the 4th decade I say a number of times for various people – mainly walking to the street car to go downtown – I save the last decade and say it before I turn out the light at night – the rosary is a very important part of my day.

What a great idea to break it up during the day!

I didn’t vote. When I pray varies.

I prefer praying the rosary in the morning, but often end up waiting until bedtime and then frequently fall asleep while praying.

I need to make time to pray earlier in the day.
 
Various times for me. Not prayed the Rosary as much as i used to.
 
3.85% do when I do. But it’s not consistent; sometimes it’s in the afternoon, sometimes at night. Generally I’d say between 3-6 is when I pray it though.

I do the exact same thing! That is so awesome!
 
I pray my rosary in the morning while I am walking to the bus or to mass. The walk to mass is 1.2 miles and that is exactly how long it takes me to say it.
 
I actually pray the Rosary throughout the day. I start with the first 2 to 3 decades during my morning treadmill walk. I might have time to pray another decade while I am waiting for someone or at the doctor’s office. I finish the Rosary before I go to sleep at night. I have a history of insomnia and meditating on the mysteries helps me.
 
I have a 30 minute drive in the morning starting at 6am. I say the Rosary on my way to work. I find that it is the best way to start the day as the sun is rising and I prepare for my day in the world.

God Bless
 
Every morning at 8, I pray the Little Crown of Mary. At 8pm, I pray the Rosary. Just now, however, while watching EWTN, I prayed the Rosary along with those on TV. I will still pray the Rosary tonight at 8. God bless.
 
On work days, before I start work (so mornings).

I work in a hospital (business office) , and we have had a lot of upheaval in the last year. There was a change in jobs (which also entailed a change of hours for me, from 8-4:30 to 8:30-5–yes, it’s only a half hour, but the half hour is pretty significant to me (an “extra” half hour in the morning does nothing for me, but that half hour in the evening means that my children are frequently having to walk/otherwise fend for themselves vis-a-vis after school activities, dinner is later, etc.) Then we moved to our new facility which is beautiful, but there was some serious idiocy regarding parking. Employees had said we should have a garage, administration said no (“too expensive” said they).

Well, my dept and a few others not involved in direct patient care had made the move a couple weeks before patient move day. WE knew there was a serious parking problem because with the vast majority of employees still at the old facility, we were already out of space in the employee parking lot. We were there for 3 weeks, told administration, but they did nothing.

Patient move day came on a Sunday. On Monday after, it was a disaster. EVERY spot in the lot was full (including patient spots because a lot of them were taken by employees). In order to get a parking spot, I would have to leave early in order to stalk departing 3rd shift employees for their parking spots. In fact, I had to leave at the very same time that I would be leaving if my hours hadn’t changed. And of course, once I got the spot, I was now about 45 minutes early for work.

I was mad, resentful … I hadn’t wanted the hours changed, but got stuck with it because of being low on the totem pole. I didn’t want to spend an extra 45 minutes of unpaid time at the hospital.

But then I talked to my brother in law, and he said, “Oh, you have such an opportunity. I wish I had to go to work 45 minutes early” (He’s self employed–I wasn’t really happy with that.) But by the end of the conversation, I did see that I had an opportunity to fit a rosary into the beginning of my day (in the chapel).

Well, Tuesday after move day, the heavy machines came in to grade some extra parking and throw gravel down (they’re supposed to pave, but I haven’t seen that happen yet in the big lot), and eventually parking was no longer a major issue. But now it’s a habit, so I’m still going in extra early to get my prayer time in.
 
Most of the time when I go to an EF Mass or a Daily Mass, the places I go to say it before Mass starts so I make sure to get there before it gets started as the times are consistent (and so it can be done before Mass begins).

I do have the rosary on cd, and should get back to the habit of doing it on the way to work or on the way home driving (but not holding the beads of course).
