When to use the phrase ‘what are you doing while working?
It can also be used if someone asks you what you’re doing while you are at work(or on a lunch break). It would not normally be heard at work, because it should be obvious to any questioner who is present that you are working (and if it’s not obvious that you are working, any question about what you are doing would be intended as a rebuke).
Is it correct to say ‘I work’ or ‘I generally work’?
So if I were to say simply “I work,” it would mean that I generally work, without any specific mention of when, or how long. But by putting the “today” at the end, you are making a declaration of time which is odd for the present simple. So, to the answer: I would, in general, use the first construction.
