And here's mine:

• 6:30 am - wake up due to 4yo kicking or whatever
• 7 - clean up the kitchen a bit
• 7:30 - make breakfast and lunch for myself and kids
• 8:15 - drive kids to school (we decided on a charter school, so no bus service)
• 9:15 - get to work and refill my water bottle and whatnot
• 9:30-11 - morning meetings
• 11-12 - pretend like I'm working/check email/etc
• 12-1 - lunch
• 1-3 - work on my tasks for the day
• 3-5 - fix something that went wrong, because something always goes wrong just before I go home
• 5-6 - drive home (would take 30 min w/o traffic, but here we are)
• 6-7 - make dinner or clean up house
• 7-9 - get kids ready for bed (takes forever because they're really looking for time w/ me)
• 9-10 - do adult stuff, like paying bills or shopping for birthdays/christmas stuff; maybe take a walk w/ SO; if the stars align, read a book or play video games

So yeah, that's me. I get about as much done in those 2 hours of actual work as many of my coworkers get, so I think I'm doing alright.

Here's an alternative schedule when I WFH:

• 6:30-8:45 - same as above, just w/o commute
• 10-12 - do work (we have fewer meetings on WFH days
• 12-1 - get some exercise in my garage (kids are at school)
• 1-3 - do more work while eating lunch
• 3-5 - play video games or something in my home office (I've already done 2x the work I normally do)
• 5-6 - make dinner or clean up house
• 6-8 - hang out with family
• 8-8:30 - get kids ready for bed (much easier since I can work the bedtime routine in the "hang out" part)
• 8:30-10 - same as above, but I have an extra 30 min (hooray!!)

So yeah, most of what the OP posted cannot apply to me, but I get a similar amount of work done.

I can do step 1 without waking up, so I would take that extra time to continue connecting with myself while sleeping. Also, caffeine takes 20-30 mins to kick in, so they're actually waiting close to 2 hours to cue themselves into "work mode".

5:30am - Wake up in the mornin' feeling like P. Diddy 6:00am - Grab my glasses; I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city 5:45am - Before I leave, brush my teeth, with a bottle of Jack 'Cause when I leave for the night I ain't comin' back

Wake up between 7 and 10 depending on what timezone I'm in, I work late so I don't need an alarm. Open the hotel blinds to get some real light. Eat some yogurt. Do a light work out. Shower. Do whatever until whenever my phone says go to work. Work 3–14 hours based on whatever schedule is on my phone. Go to hotel. Go to bed. Appreciate the fact that I have no meetings ever and at least 16 days off a month.
