This is why I love my University job. I have a set schedule of classes and a few committee meetings, but aside from that I work in chunks of time that allow me to do things around the house or take a day to go somewhere with Mrs. Quandry. If we want to go out for a late lunch and to a park on days where I don't have a class, I do that. Academia has had a lot of WFH traditionally, so it's not been a big change for me. Other fields could learn from it. There are routine activities that need to be done, and there are projects that have deadlines. Let people pace themselves around what is necessary for the job and if they meet their goals (and have meaningful input on setting goals) then what do the actual hours matter? Touch base at staff and team meetings, and then get things done in the manner that fits you best. Unfortunately many managers want performative busyness to feel they are in charge which leads to a lot of non-productive activity in the office.Working at 85 per cent is an act of self-care for my generation
