I know folks in non-tech office jobs who say it's easy to exceed typical metrics for their department in, at most, two hours of actual work per day. Doesn't even require that those be especially frantic or hard-working hours themselves. Just a couple normal-paced hours and you're at the front of the pack for the day.

This exists at the other end, too: I've seen a lot of people in management positions who had enough assistants that I can just about guarantee their average workday is also about two hours of actual work, though with some very long days and some near-zero-work days. I've seen founder-CEO types who know (and are) the right people so it's easy to get early funding for their ventures, and make an "executive assistant" for that company (so, paid with investor money) a very early hire so they can get away with barely doing any work on it (they're always doing like 5 things at once, if you check their LinkedIn, and that's how: they're putting very little time in to any but maybe one of them at any given time)
