A former boss once told me that he expected to realistically get about 3 hours of "real, productive" work from a person in a given day. The rest would be task switching, administration, and other overhead (including water cooler type socializing).
So that's about 15 hours a week, in a 5-day workweek. Problem is that a lot of that that overhead sort of has to happen to make the three hours possible.
