Efficiency at work for a first year analyst

Anyone ever list everything they did during a productive day and baffled they worked for ~8 hours? I basically just tried listing everything I did today, which I felt productive during, and am not sure how my list is long but everything on it doesn't take that long to do. I was on my phone a little here and there and was at lunch for 45 min or so but still no idea how I felt so productive with this list. Is this normal or what am I missing? I'm a first year analyst going on 3 months.
