#15

Today I have had what ended up as half a book writing day, with a little work done in relation to the page proofs of my forthcoming book with Bloomsbury Academic, Carbon Capture and the Future of Environmentalism, and some research done concerning industry news and other news related to climate change and particularly carbon capture and storage (CCS). This brings the number of writing days this Autumn up to 15 including 10,5 book writing days.

4 meetings including 3 employee appraisals

Today I have attended the weekly meeting with the office manager, and had 3 employee appraisals (total to date: 31) .... and done at least 50 emails.

Bottom of inbox seen

Today I have gotten to the bottom of my inbox for the first time since August. One and a half week ago I had about 400 emails marked as unread (though for the most part actually in process of being read or treated).

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.
