That's not the type of job they are referring to.

They're referring to jobs where you have overarching goals and deliverables but aren't logging actions to the event, or to the hour.

I've had jobs like yours and steady, dependable, maintainable pace is the way to get through the week. Don't over promise, don't look available for random new tasks.

At my current gig I have tasks issued at the 2 week level, and aside from very rare requests for assistance or discussion, I'm left to my to-do list, and my predetermined commitments. If I consistently meet my commitments, and show up for scheduled meetings, no one gives a shit when I actually work. It's great but requires the right environment.
