Not asking how much time you're required to put in. How much actual work do you do in a week?
 
I officially work 28 hours a week. Of that I’m probably working half of it. That half can be intense so they get their moneys worth out of me X 2.
 
It depends. If I'm traveling it's definitely closer to 40 when you figure in the airport, driving and actual site time.

If it's just a regular work I'm probably closer to 25-30.
 
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour. Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.
 
Similar to @nirad3 in that it depends and can fluctuate from week to week and day to day.

First week of the month tends ot be busier as we do some month end reporting with tight deadlines. First two weeks of the year are very busy for year end. Then it depends on the timelines and deliverables for the different projects - so some days are easily closer to 10-12 or more and that can carry on for several days/weeks, but then there are some periods where there is a lull and it may only be 4-5 hours of actual work in a given day. It all seems to balance out, and I'm in a spot where I have quite a bit of flexibility on when I work, so that while I am available during normal business hours, if I have a kid's event, I can go to them and will generally work in the evening a bit if it is neccesary.

I put 30-40 as that would be my average.
 
I'm "working" probably 40 hours a week.

But the actual work I do is probably 27 to 33 hours. I'm locked in from 6am till 10 or 11 and then sprinkle in additional work the rest of the day.
 
It depends and I end up doing a week or 2 at 80+, but the normal week is 10-20 waiting for those 80+. I also have to sort of sit around and be available to put out "fires" if they pop up.
 
I'm incredibly efficient at what I do. Literally questions that take my executives half a day to three days to answer, I can calculate in 5-10 minutes. So about a dozen execs offload that part of their jobs to me.

It ends up being very little actual clock time during the week for me. The largest amount of time is setting up the model that can answer the question at the start of the project. Then as the project enters day-to-day mode, it's just changing single variables and seeing what the model answers.
 
At my desk or on site 40-50 hours per week.

Actually working...most of that minus 5-10 hrs. So 30-40 hrs/week
 
At my old job I was putting in 50+ per week. I'd basically do catchup work from 5am to 9am, then be in back to back meetings until 3 or 4pm.

New job that I started about 8 weeks ago.. 40 max.
My mornings until 11am are busy. But the majority of the people who report to me are overseas, so my afternoons are free of meetings and I get work done.

Wife noticed two weeks in my anxiety and stress levels were WAY down.
I was lucky to get 5 hours of sleep at my last job. I'm now getting 6 1/2 to 7 hours a night. :excited:
 
I force myself to stay around 30 when I can. Some weeks are 80. But if can do a 6 hour day and then just triage calls and emails I do it. I'm not dying at my desk like a couple of attorneys have in the past few years.
 
I honestly get 35-45 hours of actual work in per week. I feel like I did my professional career backwards. 10-20 years ago I had jobs where I did a lot less actual work (and spent a lot more time in the FFA). Now I'm 56 and do a lot more actual work. Not sure how I screwed that up. Poor life choices I guess. :shrug:
 
I did my career backwards. The amount I worked over the last 25 years is in direct proportion to the amount of my posts here. First 18 years, posted constantly here, mostly at work. (Damn I miss the werewolf days). Now almost none. I work 50 hours a week easily and all work. Barely look at my phone while there.
 
On average I'm actively working about 50% of my day. Some days more than others.

I also spend a bit of time outside of work thinking about work on how to solve a problem or increase efficiencies. I have about a 45-1hr drive in each day where I can gameplan my workday. I think this ultimately frees up more time in my day for me to BS on FBGs.
 
~28 hours (out of 32) a week with a patient in the chair plus 4 hours on Friday writing treatment notes, ordering supplies, being HR, and maintaining equipment.

You sound like a straight shooter with upper management written all over you
 
Maybe 10-15 hours total per week, although we do get spikes every now and then where that goes up.

I've noticed I take much less time to do things than most of my co-workers and I've set up a ton of efficiencies. I've also always been good at time management.

If I needed to put more time in, I would, but I'm already maxing out performance reviews and such, so I'm ok with this. I consider myself very fortunate to be in this situation, so I would not do anything to mess it up.
 
That’s a tough one. I run an 80 person company, so I’m getting calls and emails about all kinds of things at all hours. And I do a lot of “thinking” about things.
The actual number of hours is probably 20-40 based on the week, but it’s also 24/7/365.
 
I'm typically in the 50-55 range, but have substantially cut back to 40 or a bit more. I don't see a situation where I'm going back. I'd really like to go down to 30 at this point.
 
Answered 30-40. Could probably stand to do more.

It's a pretty good job and I will only really show up to the office for like 10-5 on days I go in. But we produce a bunch of daily reports that I have to sign off. Just isn't a lot of energy some days to work on projects after pushing it out.
 
So hard for me to estimate with a lot of travel and frankly I'm thinking about work even when I'm not working. I think 60hrs/week is fair. Time at my actual desk and working on work I'd say on average 20hrs per week

While I'm nowhere near 24 / 7 / 365, this post resonated with me. If I only count time in the office or in a meeting, it often ain't much. Discounting travel I tallied 15 hours this week. This coming week my work day will be done by 2 pm at least 3 days and the other 2 probably won't be much later. I only field unscheduled calls off hours from a few select people, and very rarely respond to emails.

But I frequently draft evening emails and schedule sends at 7 am the next business day. I try to finish each day with an empty inbox and an updated notebook. I'll also prep work over the weekend (2 hours today), spend a few minutes revising Monday, then distribute.

If I had to estimate my active work time, it's probably 25-30 hours per week. I don't know how to quantify my passive work time though. I have notifications turned off on my phone, to read messages I have to go find them. Take Friday for example- I had an off site work meeting 9-10 and that was it. I hit the gym, checked email (5 mins), grabbed lunch, then headed home (hour drive). I checked email again when I got back, responded to a couple (15 mins), then took a nap. I did one more spin through, responding to a couple (10 mins) then off to coach basketball. I only worked 30 mins, drove for 60, but was otherwise just 'available' (watch would've buzzed if I got a call). So is that 6 hours of passive work time or 1/2.

But this is my life as an over-thinker.
