I'm in management. While the job description always says spend a significant amount of time coding, I tend to eschew that if I can get away with it. I'm only writing code if I need to get in the trenches or things are in a such a good place that I have big blocks of free time.

My workday is 10-4:30. Of that I'm probably doing 3-4 hours of productive work a day (code review, architecture, planning, 1-1s, meetings). I don't have any useless meetings, but the real killer is the 30-60 minutes between meetings where you don't have enough time to do anything productive.
