>I’ve always been curious how much work the average person does per day. It would be a very valuable metric to have for setting expectations - of course we’re all different and listen to yourself, but just to have a ballpark...

I work in sessions of 45 minutes, then I take a 15 minute break. I use MagicWorkCyclce [1] to time this. I usually get 6 blocks of 45 minutes in on a good day. That corresponds to 4.5 hours of "real" work (deep work, focused mode work, whatever). I'm an academic, if that matters.

What do you do during your break?

Usually stand up, stretch my legs, talk to some people if I'm at the office. Most of the times I always get a cup of tea as well (or coffee if its before 1pm)
