I would say not uncommon for it to be a mostly even split between admin/paperwork and doing the actual work. That’s one thing you don’t really understand beforehand. I just scheduled my day for each.
I have to block my calendar to get some of my work done. I get buried in meetings and admin work every day. The only way to protect my time is to block my calendar and close my office door.
My PI has voiced the same concerns and even when he blocks time in the calendar it gets booked bc unfortunately it’s his job to keep the lab afloat but as someone who isn’t a PI I find that so impressive how you can find all of this funding and you’re making all of this work!
