How many hours a day do you actually work? (sh.itjust.works)

I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

I do around 7-8.5 hours. But some of that is just socialising/chatting with people (I'm in software dev management). Lots of "Sooo... What's your perception of what's going on?" "Things going OK?" "Who do I need to talk to to smooth things over?" kinda stuff (the soft skills side of things). It is super rare to go above that unless there's an incident of some type or something goes totally pear shaped.

I used to do 10+ last job and despised it. Took a step down in pay for this role but so much less stress. Day ends, I log off and detach from it all.

Edit: Put per week, not per day...
