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.
Hi Eva!
This looks amazing! I love how you can see so clearly where your time is going.
What app do you use to track your time?
Cheers, Silvia
I use toggl track – it’s free software and syncs across all your devices.
