I’ve tracked my time for a few years down to the minute, and usually tracked about 6 hours of “real work” in a day, working about 6 days a week, with also usually an additional 2-3 hours of work on the Sunday. This gets me pretty close to 40 hours.
However, to get to 6-7 hours of actual work in a day, I tend to spend something like 70 hours in the office per week. If you count time spent in meetings or work conversations as “real work” time, I also tend to get closer to 60 hours a week, though meetings are definitely not all fully focused.
