Mine tends to vary quite a lot — I usually try to get up for the gym at half 6, so into work at around half 8, then will usually leave around 6/half 6, but if it’s nice weather I may go for a cycle during the day, so will then stay on for a few hours more at the end. I reckon I probably do about 10 hours on a good day.
Sorry you lost the chat this afternoon, glad you found the ask button to get some more questions to us!
My daily routine tends to include some time at my office desk, reading and writing lectures and answering emails (which are usually from other researchers that I work with). I also spend time in my laboratories testing people in my experiments, and also teaching and meeting students. I’m not going to lie I love to sleep! So I sometimes don’t get in until 9 or 10, and then I work through the day until 5 or 6!
At the moment I try to start at 8 that means I can leave at about 4.30 and be home by 6 (I don’t live near where I work!) then as i’m still finishing my phd I have some dinner and then work again between 7 and 9. One day soon i’ll be finished and i’ll be able to have a social life again!
My days vary depending on what I’ve got to do but I generally tend to work from 10-6 in the office/running experiments. If I’ve got a lot on I’ll either stay and work late or do another few hours work at home when I get in. I have quite a bit of flexibility with the PhD so every day tends to be different but I try and stick to a routine.
