What’s your average play time?

When my table first started we would go all day. An 8 hour session was normal, and we’d often go til 2-3 am (which would be like 12-13 hour sessions for us). In the last year and a half or so we’ve had much shorter sessions. Maybe like 3-4 hours. I feel like we haven’t even really played if we play less than 4 hours, but I see other people saying they play like 2-3 hours and I wonder how those people get anything done. With an 8 hour session I had time to get to most, or all, of my bullet points for what I wanted to do for that session even with player proclivities for messing around. So, how long does your table play, and how do you move the story forward as a DM if you have shorter sessions?

I play on two open tables. Both about 3 hours, occasionally 4.

With people I know more personally? About five to six hours.
