It's just a matter of finding something you love to do and it won't feel like a chore.
In college, I was in a 1 credit small jazz combo that met every Friday from 3-4. After the instructor left at 4, we'd whip out songs we wrote and would start jamming. Often it was 7 before I looked at the time.
I read an interview with a famous Chen Tai Chi stylist a few years ago. He recalled practicing 12 hours daily for a few years in his youth. He didn't talk about it like work, he just got a thrill out of every moment.
