Firstly, a couple of tables showing how my time expenditure by weekday compares to that planned:-

Plan versus Actual Effort Summary - Split (Current Quarter & YTD)
Summary figures against the QTD (July - September 2026) Plan, and for the YTD (2025/26) Academic Year, are as below. This table shows the actual %age split of work (YTD & QTD) as against the planned %age split of work. The second table below compares the amount of work done, as against plan:-
| Project | Planned Weekly Hours | Planned QTD %age | QTD Actual % | Planned YTD %age | YTD Actual % | QTD Actual Hours | YTD Actual Hours |
|---|
| Bridge | 22 | 36 | 42 | 35 | 40 | 118 | 1061 |

Notes
- All figures above are rounded to the nearest unit.
- The bottom row - "Comparisons" - in the above table is non-standard.
→ The first two columns show the number of days in the current reporting Quarter and YTD, and
→ the last two columns show the hours planned (according to the latest quarterly plan) for the current reporting Quarter and pro-rata YTD.
→ The middle non-empty columns show %age actual vs plan (actuals taken from the Total row) for the Quarter and YTD.
- In principle this allows monitoring of total effort vs plan, as well as the distribution of effort across projects.
Plan versus Actual Effort Summary - Effort (Current Quarter & YTD)
Summary figures against the QTD (July - September 2026) Plan, and for the YTD (2025/26) Academic Year, are as below. This table shows the actual percentage against plan:-

Plan Summary (Next Quarter & Full Year)
The plan for the distribution of effort, in hours / week, for the coming Quarter & Academic Year is as below. As the year goes by, estimates are replaced by actuals, and re-estimates are made. In the final quarter of the academic year (July - September) this table just shows the plan for the next academic year. In the light of the above "re-focusing" decisions, Secondary Projects have no time estimated for them:-
| Project | Planned Hours / Week Next Qtr | Planned %age Next Qtr | Full Year Planned %age | Planned Hours Next Qtr | Full Year Planned Hours | Comparison (%ages) |
