Can be anything from zero to 30+ hours a day.

It gets closer to zero when i have problems focusing and so go into runaway internet time burning. This typically happens when some exciting/problem solving part of a project concludes, and i'm left with either a million possible ways to move forward past the solved problem, or a need to do the boring "awesome, now make it work" part of a project.

Procrastination is a problem solving decompression sickness.

It get closer to "code until a non maskable sleep interrupt fires" when there is a problem and the solution is close or something does not work but should, or something that haven't worked for a while finally starts to.

Between the two extremes there is pretty much any times depending on things to be done and free time available.

Makes complete sense! Your English skills and also answering my question with something measurable are impeccable. I hope you write code like the way you answered my question. Would be one readable piece of code.
