The eternal...Oh, yes, this is a tough nut to crack. The eternal bad conscience of people, "What if I didn't do this, I'd have more time to do that!". Like now, I post this comment instead of working on my thesis *cough*.<BR/><BR/>Anyway.<BR/><BR/>Time management in the workplace is another tricky issue, especially for many white-collar professions; like academics. We all know that it'd be impossible to just write papers, prepare classes, lecture, go to conferences, write papers, do occasional empirical work (!), and write more papers. 100% focused, 100% of the time. Would I be a more productive academic that way? Nope, I know I wouldn't be.<BR/><BR/>From a moral point of view, I tend to think that as long as I have a guilty conscience, I am all right. ;) If I didn't have that guilty feeling, I argue, I wouldn't understand I was wasting my time when I did.<BR/><BR/>Ah, the wonderfully quirky ways we deceive ourselves!Andreas Björklindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742108996097081755noreply@blogger.com
