It's really not that steep of a learning curve, don't let yourself believe it's overwhelming. Once you understand the basis, and you grasp the fundamentals of options, everything becomes much easier. In 2-4 months depending on how much time you dedicate, you'll understand the basics, in and out, without needing to reference anything from paper or online. This makes the rest of the learning process much smoother.

>but once you crest that and have a strategy that works you're essentially set.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

>how much time do you spend per day trading/managing positions?

Around 8-12 hours a week, a few hours a day though not every day. The bulk of that time is taken up scanning for properly priced trades, tight B/A spreads, and other measurements I'd find helpful to my strategy. Sometimes I'll work 24 hours in a week for whatever reason so it's not always consistent, but it does result in free time which I have no problem just redirecting back into advancing my knowledge about options trading and what I currently use.
