So how fast of a worker are you? im currently having doubts whether i'm fast enough at getting things done.
Can you design without content? i mean lets say your pitching and have limited content, do you go and invent content or just do alot of nice lorem ipsums.
How much do you get done in a day?

designing without content can be difficult and i always offer a million caveats when i show the design. i've done it many times and the end-result always ends up changing based on the amount of content. you definitely do need to nail down sections and type of content to be displayed if not the actual, final stuff.

Sometimes I get shitloads done in a day.
Other days, I barely get out of bed.

good project = fast
shitty project = slow

yeah, currently i have to do coding on smaller projects, so everytime i'm stuck with something advanced an hour or two gets used on google for explanations. ugh.

In time, and as you mature as a designer, content or not, you will and should understand everything there is to know about a respective client, their challenges etc. Therefore, you won't need allot of content to get started, but rather, high level points that should help you construct a design/copy hierarchy that will get you through preliminary design review(s).

Depends on so many things. I tend to be on the slower side though, as I am very detail-oriented.

My work process is usually thus:
Get brief.
Distill brief to key points.
Envision these key points in basic form.
Develop design concepts around these points.
Refine and continue to develop design concepts.
When happy, print out and crit in studio, keeping in mind key elements.
Further refine and develop.
Print again and refine further.
Get to stage where design is solid and should almost speak for itself.
Present to client.
Take clients feedback for designs.
Go home and cry.
Start again.
