How I spent my time in 2023

2023 has been a busy year, especially the past Fall semester. I ended up working again more than the year before. I had logged 2188 hours for 2022, and 2023 my time working is back up to 2440 hours on the day I did my end-of-year analysis, two weeks before the end of the year.

As in years past, teaching has been my main task, and I ended up spending less time on writing papers.

All in all, this is how I spent my time in 2023:

• Teaching: 21.3%
• Service: 9.9%
• Learning: 7.4%
• Research project fire + post-doc: 6.9%
• ACI Avances: 6.3%
• Papers: 5.9%
• Blog: 4.5%
• BEST research project: 4.4%
• Meeting TU: 3.9%
• Admin: 3.8%
• Planning: 2.6%
• PhD candidate I don’t officially supervise: 2.5%
• Career move: 2.3%
• Meetings: 2.1%
• Research proposals: 2.0%
• PhD candidate 1: 1.8%
• PhD candidate 2: 1.8%
• Research collaboration: 1.6%
• PhD candidate 3: 1.6%
• Research: 1.4%
• PhD candidate 4: 1.1%
• Conferences: 1.1%
• PhD candidate 5: 0.9%
• PhD candidate 6: 0.8%
• Research project with industry: 0.7%
• Email + admin: 0.5%
• Post-doc I don’t officially supervise: 0.3%
• PhD candidate 7: 0.2%
• Contacts: 0.2%
• Personal emails: 0.1%
• PhD candidate I don’t officially supervise: 0.1%
• PhD candidate I don’t officially supervise: 0.1%
• Post-doc 2: 0.0%

It doesn’t look like my teaching responsibilities will be less any time soon, so I conclude that I should plan for more time for teaching activities on my weekly template.
