Scrum master here. I work at least 9-5.30pm each day, but 5.30pm would be an early sign-off. Usually it's at least 6pm. Depending on the day, I could easily work flat out for 7-8 hrs during my day. Meetings, code debugging, code writing, co-ordinating with the team, answering bug queries, writing backlog stories and documenting processes are some of the things I do each day. My personal backlog list is probably about 100 items long, and always growing. So there are always things to do, but this is the nature of the SM role. Deep work happens when I am most relaxed and have a task that is somewhat creative. This could be developing a new process or idea, writing some small code improvement, or thinking about how to improve my team.
