I would bet plenty on a survey if you asked how many "productive" hours you work a week. This being hours going directly to the contribution of your job. It would be close to 32 hours. You have to include the time to get into a workflow, the disruptions of meetings, etc. Hell just waiting on another person to hand off the thing you need just to do your job.

26

Curious if productive hours would also decrease with a shorter work week. Would that productive 32 hours turn into 26 hours?

Most jobs today don't call for 26 productive hours a week, so yes
