Popping this back at the top of the feed for other academics who started back at work today - using @brkeogh.bsky.social's tracker has made it so much easier for me to understand where my time's going, and has offered me more confidence in using the "flexibility" our jobs purportedly offer
I have updated the Academic Workload Tracker for 2025. I strongly encourage all academics to track how long you actually work, and at what tasks. It's a crucial way to counter the deliberate wage-theft of obfuscatory university workload models.
