Tldr guy only works 3 hours a day
Says right on the list that he schedules all of his meetings for the afternoon. The 3 hours of deep unbroken undistracted work in the morning (if he actually is able to pull it off) would definitely be a more productive work day than your average 9-5 office worker. It's been shown in studies that the 40 hour work week of an average middle manager in an office produces very little value to a company, and is full of useless meetings and distractions that derail concentration.
I mean, same honestly. Thank god for remote working (but if any hiring managers are reading I totally work all day at home).
3 hours a day is pretty solid, but don't tell the blue collars
In all seriousness, 3 hours of actual solid work, uninterrupted by meetings or whatever... That's not as unusual as it might sound. This survey puts the average worker at <3 productive hours per day, and this one at around 4 hours.
Office workers*
They know, they knew before we admitted it to each other.
Pain
Blue collar here. I love my job most days, but there are times I envy you guys that don't have a solid 8 hours of work packed into almost every day. Makes the workday fly by though.
