Throw when you feel like it, man! I've only thrown like 5 minutes at most in one day and then I'd put my yoyo down. When I was starting out I threw in public more than I did alone at home. But now, I get in the habit of at least spending 20-30 minutes just messing around. Speaking of messing around, you can just mess with the basic and fundamentals and get really good at those. Even simple binds, trapezes, different kinds of ways to get to the same mount, everything. Those helped me out a lot when I decided to learn more difficult tricks. Before that, I knew that I couldn't do any of that so I stuck with messing around and figuring things out myself :]
I know it's tl;dr worthy, but have fun throwing! And I wish you the best on your priorities in life too!

I think I need to stop reading too much forum threads and start yoyoing for once.
