#1

Today I have had the first work day, and first writing day, in the Autumn semester (which officially only begins mid-August), with writing plans made for the Autumn, and a little work on our GDP review article and my UNDP letter.

2020 work year redux

In 2020 I logged 2.790,5 work hours. This corresponds to 169% of a normal work year, and is the least I have worked since 2013, the first full year that I was a father. This was due to a combination of covid-19 circumstances and a month´s sick leave. My average work week was 53,4 hours, 5,5 hours less than in 2019.

I spent the most time on University of Stavanger tasks, ahead of research and "litterært" (book projects). The share of UIS tasks and "litterært" were both the highest in recorded memory (which goes back to 2009).

Back to work

My holiday is over. Back to work tomorrow.

New office

Today I have moved from one office (KA 215) to another (KA-U-112) in Kjell Arholms hus, at University of Stavanger´s Ullandhaug campus. My new office is located in a so-called "office landscape" (no roof, thin "walls" ... so must be quite silent). Meeting rooms are available nearby, though.

Back to work; online/offline plans

I´m back to work, after a 13 day proper vacation - the first proper vacation for years (since earlier I have checked email even in holidays, pretty much all year round). 335 emails were waiting in my Gmail inbox, and a further 53 in my University of Stavanger inbox (with 100 or so being must-read emails).

In the time ahead I plan to stay offline when I´m not working, instead of being online all day. Good for the family, and for health.
