Poop How much "legitimate" work do you get done in a day?

MMXcalibur · 10-28-2009, 11:03 AM

I'm not talking about sitting there with an Excel spreadsheet open staring off into space or bullshitting with co-workers during a "meeting". I mean honest productive work.

As little as possible.

Like I'm going to leave hard lasting evidence of that in the form of a forum post.

Yeah, good point.

Um, I get at least 10 hours work done in 8 hours. My productivity is through the roof. I just work and work and even when I get home, I still work. Yup, I do more than anyone else around me, that's for sure.

I get a fair amount done in a day, but my production is tied to deadlines.

I don't get as much done as I could some days, but make up for it on the short, hard deadlines that require long, braincrushing hours.

I'm looking at 3 spreadsheets and a medium sized pile this week, that I'm finding trouble getting seriously motivated to complete.

I travel a shit ton.

When I travel, I'm working 12-16 hours/day. In the office - real work, maybe 4 hours.

What do you do that makes you travel so much?

I work 10 hours a week. It's mostly 5 hours on Tuesday and 5 hours on Thursday. I'd say my average production is at 80%. That's because we have downtimes, and no one comes to my study seminars.

I own, or having ownership in 3 different companies. I'm out checking on the assets, or clients/suppliers just about every week.

I'm generally in Chicago, Houston, Dallas, St. Louis, North Little Rock, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis or Birmingham.

Do you think technology will make it so that in the next 5-10 years you won't have to actually travel to those places?

Doubt it.

Nothing takes the place of seeing things first hand in person, and being 5-10 ft from someone while you are discussing/negotiating.

I'm old school. I want to be in front of someone, talking to them, as I take money out of their back pocket
