Then, focus on your kids for the rest of the time.

I...Just dropped in to say that I love this article. It is a breath of fresh air among all the fuss about remote "teaching" these days. The one hour (or longer) lecture is a crazily outdated way for students to learn, especially when the teacher is just laboriously repeating things that they have said many times before and can probably be found in a few seconds of web searching. Yet now we see colleges, universities and even schools rushing to duplicate this clumsy and frustrating teaching method over video conferencing. I wish more teachers would use an approach like yours!Frank Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122946282768021916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-13346459336068896142020-01-10T06:11:57.057-08:002020-01-10T06:11:57.057-08:00Wonderful.

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!

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!

I am interested in starting my own academic blog, but I've only completed my undergraduate degree. Many blogs I have seen are usually written by graduate students or professors, so I'm a little discouraged by that. Do you think it would be a good idea to start an academic blog even where I am now? <br /><br />Best, <br /><br />MaiyiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075269641150315578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2175875149329306963.post-73761019175916869602018-10-30T06:52:04.438-07:002018-10-30T06:52:04.438-07:00Good luck!
