I would also add (reading other comments) that coding in particular is very much a thing that feels like I’m slacking off for hours or days. Just fiddling around or fighting some random problems that is not the actual thing I’m fixing. Then at some point it just flows and you get the whole feature/fix/whatever done in a single sitting of intense focus. People who don’t code and watch the tickets hit the done column often think that my productivity is variable but I think this is very typical of most devs I know.
