Is there a phrase that can replace “consists in part” when the part is about half?
Multi tool use
If I say that
My job consists in part of scheduling meetings.
I understand that this is some relatively small part of the job. If instead I say something like
My job consists in large part of scheduling meetings.
My job consists mostly of scheduling meetings.
then I think the implication is that more than 50%, probably more like 60-70 is scheduling meetings. However, I want to be able to find a synonymous phrase for
About half of my job is scheduling meetings.
but where I can start the sentence with "My job".
Does anyone have any suggestions?
