Curious to see the answers, as I know some people just work a few hours per day

About 4 ~ 12 a day, though roughly about 50 ~ 60 hours a week.

A 4 hour day would be if I have some problem that I know has a good implementation, but I just can't figure out how to do it. Then it's better to just stop and do something unrelated.

Though then once the problem is solved and all the puzzle pieces fall together - and I can just work on implementing it, and refactoring it into a good solution - I can continue working on it without caring about the time.

But I don't have a lot of days where at the end of the day I'm like "Yess, I'm finally done working, now I can start doing something fun!" - The working itself is already fun, so that creates a different "Working vs Not Working/Having Fun" dynamic
