I find the numbers somewhat off compared to how it is where I work. We are a small team mostly working remotely.

I would estimate that my team puts in (per person) on average about 5-6 hours per day writing code. About 2 hours go to emails, daily meetings, demos and architecture discussions etc.

I have very few interruptions during the day and usually 1-2 meetings pre-scheduled that are 30 min in duration each.

My phone is usually on silent for all notifications except calls and I turn off email as well when I need to focus. I take a short 5 min break every 45 min or so. I avoid HN/Facebook etc during the work day.

There is very little stress, we work towards a defined goal and have daily updates on the progress and what everyone focuses on. Deadlines are very rare.
