That's very off from my work. For me, it's the opposite: 95% is writing code, navigating code, testing code or doing stuff in the shell. Reading documentation usually makes only a small amount. And even then, writing notes makes a good part of it too.

I can also do that while typing. Mindgears are no reason to stop typing.
