Unless you define what you mean by 'actual work' you'll get skewed results. Answers will be subjective and differing based on the kind of work someone does.
E.g. in my case (engineering manager, not coding anymore):
- I spend an average of 9 hours at work (some days are longer and some are shorter)
- I spend an avg of 5 hours in meetings (I DO consider this work, thankfully our meetings are mostly meaningful)
- I spend around 1.5 hours a day preparing for these meetings (especially the ones I lead)
- I get very little 'focused time' if you do the math, I usually block some time on lighter days to progress with work that needs such focus, e.g. writing or reviewing proposals, roadmaps, strategies, processes etc.
