I haven't gone to 1 workday from home, but I have carved out 1 day without meetings. My goal is to use that as my writing day. I will think about your schedule as a model for how I might structure that day.

In other words, the schedule is based on time spent as opposed to tasks accomplished.Tanya Golash-Bozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299920277816825958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-7462556795223405132020-01-08T13:04:30.606-08:002020-01-08T13:04:30.606-08:00Wonderful!Wonderful!Tego Wolasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941720782911839329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-46975772601273381812020-01-08T10:56:27.641-08:002020-01-08T10:56:27.641-08:00Amazing!

So, I came up with prioritizing the most important activity and dedicating most parts of the day for it. But, ...sometimes I still find myself struggling. Do you ever have days which don't go as per schedule or as planned?Anusuya Subramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029002998301785699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-89478714044166913492020-01-08T10:03:17.536-08:002020-01-08T10:03:17.536-08:00Hi, Eva.

One reason is that I often I have graduate students do data analysis.<br /><br />What works for me is to set aside two hours each morning during the semester for writing. On those days that I do not have to go to meetings or teach, I will do one of these things in the afternoon when I have less energy: review other people's work; catch up on reading; and data analysis.<br /><br />As for email, I count as email time the time it takes me to respond to email requests from students, colleagues, and administrators. That is always at least one to two hours a day.<br /><br />When I have tasks to do that come through email (like my students' work or paper reviews), I usually put them in todoist. That way, I can access the files directly through todoist.Tanya Golash-Bozahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299920277816825958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-61236881692961338722020-01-08T07:14:16.865-08:002020-01-08T07:14:16.865-08:00Wow i impressed with your time management.Wow i impressed with your time management.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976296973883746383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-8770956365522073292020-01-08T07:04:31.563-08:002020-01-08T07:04:31.563-08:00Hi Tanya! Thanks for sharing your schedule. I want...Hi Tanya! Thanks for sharing your schedule. I wanted to ask you how you balance your own writing and data analysis with revising the work of graduate students, and how you manage to keep up with your email in the assigned time slots. These are things I currently struggle with - and they are related (if I need to revise work of my grad students, it will be in my inbox, so I have to at least go in there and search for it... ). Additionally, how to you balance your research and teaching work with service? I analyzed all my tracked time of 2019 and found that service takes me a lot of time. I somehow find myself obliged to help as much as possible now that I've made it through the tenure track, but I see that the time I have left for the actual number crunching (and what attracted me to academia in the first place) is less and less... Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
