Start applying in the summer before Senior year. I don't work, and it took a lot of time even with the Common Application (tedious)..

On the first part, don't you then incur fees to all the schools you don't go to? Unless you have wads of money, it seems like a poor idea.
The second part... so did you write your kids' applications? Why did doing the applications take you any time at all?
I actually don't think writing the actual applications is a big deal. I did them all by myself, and finished them all in the course of about 3 weeks and had them in by the end of September, except for the last one which I didn't decided to apply to until November (I applied to 6 schools for undergrad).
