Excited, but scared, to try this. Am in the middle of several piles of regret about thinking I’m made of time (how many letters of rec did I agree to write this summer? 18!!?) 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I’m starting a nursing PhD program in 4 weeks and just finished a DNP program in May. I have been told my eyes are too big for my watch in a few different ways. I never thought to figure out my time like a budget before committing. With my DNP, I taught a few semesters and figured a rough budget of my time. I like your contingency time allocation. Sometimes a 30 min lecture took a few hours to record, which I had not budgeted at all! During the summer I thought I should get systems in place and organize myself and various activities (work, work committees) as well as community volunteering on an advisory board, to be ready for my new weekly commitment of my 9 units of required classes, and 20 hrs of weekly teaching assistantship, and life in general. It will be interesting to see what my “ATP” actually is! I’m guessing very, very little. Thanks for this inspired post. I feel like it was meant especially for me.

You are far more organized than I... I couldn't even get myself to do that math!!!
I loved this blog! Very practical and useful way to think of time management.
