Isn't handling documents one of the main tasks in an office job? I don't see the big deal with spending a few hours per day on one of your core tasks.

If you work for 8 hours, 9am to 5pm, 5.6 hours is not "a few hours".

No, unless your job is specifically about communicating with people via email. Which definitely isn't a programmer's job, for example.

Unless you work a monstrous hybrid / support / leadership role that sees you both doing long term project work, mentoring, and immediate fixes. I remember my last day with an uninterrupted of 4 hours of flow was about a month ago. That was a super productive day. I still think about it sometimes.
