With no external distractions (meetings, etc.), I have the ability to consistently do 6-8 hours of focused coding per day. Under a deadline or at a hackathon, I could hit 8-10, but that would lead to burnout and the last few sessions would be unproductive.
At work, this is never the case. Between meetings, running into frustrating build errors, etc. I've found that most days I do one deep work session of two hours. On good days, I get in another one for a total of 3.5-4 hours.
PS I made a website (trywinston.com) to track deep work hours. Would love to get feedback from the HN community on it.
