[quote=Anonymous]Professor (tenure-track) During academic year

Work 5 AM-7 AM -- data analysis/writing/research
7-9 AM kids up at 7 AM for school. we all get ready, get to school etc. Come back, breakfast exercise.
9 AM--12 depending on the day of the week this is filled with faculty meetings, advising meetings, research team meetings, committee meetings course prep, reading articles, grading or teaching.

Lunch (sometimes meeting, sometimes working)

1-6 depending on day of the week is filled with faculty meetings, advising meetings, research team meetings, committee meetings course prep, grading or teaching.  Sometimes there are opportunities to write.   1 day a week this is a full-time research day checking in on projects and managing research assistants.  Every other day (often including weekends) I check in on research for about 1-2 hours.  2-3 days a week I do pick up after school, but then work from home on research and  have  lots of zoom meetings with students.

I teach a 3 hour grad class 1x a week in the late evening in person.

I try not to work as much on weekends, but I do need to work on research/writing and sometimes when there are grant proposal deadlines, publications, presentations, I will pull very long weekend work sessions--sometimes overnight to meet deadlines.

During summer--it's full-time research/writing and working with graduate students, advisees and research assistants and course prep for the upcoming semester but I schedule the time as needed.

I do a complete shutdown of all work for 2 weeks in the summer and 1 week at Christmas.[/quote]
