      It used to be 100% but I reckon its closer to 30% now. The rest is spent on meetings and decision making.

      Same as John – it was 90-100% when I started. Now it’s closer to 40% as I spend more time managing projects/conference calls/meetings/e-mails etc now. I enjoy project management as well, so it’s all good

      I’m about 70%. Meetings, reports and paperwork take up the rest of my time.

      I think I am a little further on in my career than these guys so less than 10%
