Roughly 40 hours of actual work time per week — 35 at CEA, then a few hours in a few different places (the foundation I assist, editing for friends/relatives, the bits of my streaming that count as “work”)
Because much of my work involves writing or copyediting lengthy documents, I have a high percentage of “deep work” (I’d guess at least half my hours), though it’s mostly not the fancy kind of deep work where you come up with ways to save time and improve systems. It helps that I don’t have many meetings..
I work in spurts throughout the day, rarely more than a few hours at a time (lots of unpredictable obligations right now). But if I were to have eight uninterrupted hours in which to work, I think I’d end up at 5-6 hours of actual work time, so ~60-75% efficiency.
