Does anyone out there in the Twitterverse regularly achieve a > 2/3 ratio of Pomodoro-time to nominal-total-working-time? If so, I would love to hear about your approach and about the nature of your work!

I was once able to sustain a stretch of 60-80% for a few weeks during which
a) I was actively tracking the percentage;
b) I was working on a project where I knew exactly what I planned to build, and just had to code it; and,
c) I was working alone, not blocked on anyone

One important consequence of tracking the percentage was that I would leave work in the afternoon *immediately* as soon as I started getting distracted. Do not pass go. No pretending to work. Turn off the damned computer and go rest / eat / relax / do other projects.

That sounds really healthy! The "knowing exactly what to build" property is a good predictor for me of high %'s also, but that's not really the work I want to be doing. So maybe lower %'s is a *good* sign for me, hm.
