Week 5 Session: Seminar: Confess Your Overtime

A closed-room session benchmarking self-reported hours against verifiable output — separating activity from impact

22 March 2027

Before the session#

Track one week of your own hours against this course, or against a job. Tag each hour as “impact” (produced a verifiable result) or “visibility” (was observed in the act of working).

In the session#

Anonymous tally on the board: total hours logged versus hours anyone can attribute a result to. The delta is this week’s key finding.

Afterwards#

This is the last session before the two-week break. Carry your key finding into week 6 — Assignment 1 is due that week, and presenteeism remains a high-confidence candidate instance if you haven’t finalised one yet.
