Back when I had billable hours, I'd measure how long I actually work (building small websites), and 6 hours was unusually long.
Now I write and edit text for a living, alone, at home and without interruptions. I usually work from 10 to 16 with plenty of breaks.
8 real hours all day, every day is a pipe dream in creative professions.
- moffkalast 3y agoYeah I think I found roughly 4 hours as the average over the course of a month, ranging from zero to about 10.
- tchock23 3y agoAt my startup we had people track time on ‘real’ work tasks and found that four hours was about the max anyone could (happily and productively) do each day, which was fairly consistent across roles as well.
- sfn42 3y agoFor me it depends. I'm still fairly new and trying to find good solutions to things, so some times I might get hardly anything done because I'm just thinking about what to do or trying various stuff to see how an idea ends up. But when I'm doing things I know I can spend more than 8 hours working productively. On average it's probably less than 6 hours of actually writing code per day though.
