While I was on sabbatical: 7am - Wake up, eat breakfast, check email, help get daughter ready and walk her to school 9am - Back to sleep 2pm - Wake up again, shower, eat lunch, check email. Possibly coffee with friend or colleague. 4pm - Time to pick daughter up again! 4-6pm - Play with kids, eat more, check email 6-8pm - Read news and social media, get depressed 8-9:30pm - Help get kids ready for bed 9:30pm-4am: NOW it’s time to do some research!!! Tools: pen, paper, sofa, LaTeX editor, and sometimes web browser to look up papers (but this last tool is extremely dangerous and can lead to procrastination) 4am - Collapse Being back in Austin and teaching will severely affect the above hours. But in any case, it’s not like I consciously decided on them, as part of some plan to maximize productivity (!!) - this is just what I fall into when I don’t have other obligations.
