How I spent my time in Summer 2023
At the beginning of every new semester, I work through my master tasklist for the semester start. The first thing I always do, is to review how I spent my time in te previous semester. I then use that information to see if I need to change my weekly template, and to outline my planning and goals for the upcoming semester.
Summer 2023 was a semester spent mostly in Delft, and mostly dedicated to catching up with colleagues and students there.
Here’s how I spent my time in the past semester:
- meeting TU 13.12%
- service 10.47%
