Week 11 Lab: The reckoning
Week 11 lab, put a real number on the hours, and decide honestly what they bought
3 May 2027
The lab where the arithmetic finally happens.
Before the lab#
Bring your reconstructed hours for the semester, however alarming the total.
In the lab#
We do the accounting out loud. Each of you states the number, then we sort the hours into the ones that will pay themselves back, the ones that bought only the pleasure of the doing, and the ones that were plain procrastination. This is not a confession booth. The aim is an honest ledger you can defend in the essay.
Afterwards#
You leave with a number you believe and an outline for the Time Audit, guilt optional.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- you have a defensible estimate of the hours this setup has cost
- you have separated hours that saved time from hours that bought pleasure
- you have an outline of the Time Audit essay
