I have great respect for Matt but I am very cautious about accepting articles like this as they are.

Main problem is what do we count as work? High quality output or do we count research phases too?

In my experience, working at home and honestly measuring productive time can surprise menu. While I can pull more than four hours of productive work (daily total), it is _very_ unusual to see more than four. Comparing with other professionals, when I could ask them (and I have asked menu), shows similar results. At least on realms I could check, four hours per day seems like magic boundary.

Is this unusual? Do others manage to pull six, eight or more quality work hours? Looking at Matt schedule it seems he should be publishing several books by now?
