How I spent my time in Fall 2021

If you look at my time logs for Fall 2021, you can see that the semester started normal, and then my working hours became more erratic (quarantine as my husband and daughter had covid, health issues, emergency travel to Europe, my mom’s death).

Most of the “normal” week show my tendency to overwork – the upper line is 60 hours.

As I’m writing this post with one more week of the semester to go, I can see that I logged 716 hours in total. My time was spent as follows:

• Papers: 14.76%
• Teaching: 13.31%
• Service: 11.31%
• PhD project 1: 9%
• ACI Avances: 8.77%
• Blog: 8.37%
• Admin: 4.73%
• Teaching TU: 3.83%
• PhD project 2: 3.61%
• Fatigue research: 3.18%
• Email: 3.12%
• Viva book: 2.21%
• Planning: 1.72%
• Research proposals: 1.57%
• Learning: 1.57%
• meeting TU: 1.52%
• Conferences: 1.5%
• PhD Project 3: 1.19%
• PhD Project 4: 1.19%
• PhD Project 5: 0.84%

and a few more categories with less than 1% of my time spent on.
