We only spend about 10% of our time in controlling shuttle missions. We spend about another 15% of our time in training using the mission control center, the shuttle simulators here at JSC and a team of trainers to give us problems to overcome, just like it was a real flight. The other 75% of our time is spent in planning and organizing the missions.
