What is a good number inside volunteering?

OP–
If you volunteer only to pad your application, you’re doing it wrong. I volunteered at the library, but totally forgot that I was supposed to log my hours. I had fun working there, and I forgot it was a volunteer job. I went in on days I wasn’t scheduled to, just to offer help. I ended up logging only about a quarter of the hours I worked because I kept on forgetting that it was for my application and because of all the extra hours I went in.

Do something that you like, that makes you forget about the application.
