Productivity calculator

One number, so you can compare Tuesday with last Tuesday.

Productivity is not hours worked. This calculator combines four things into a single score out of a hundred: how much you finished, how much of your planned time was focused, how much of your logged time was deep work, and how much went to distraction.

How it works

How the score is built

Four components, weighted. Nothing is hidden.

  • Task completion: 40%

    Tasks completed divided by tasks planned. The largest weight, because finishing what you committed to is the clearest signal of a productive day.

  • Focus ratio: 30%

    Focused hours divided by planned hours. This is what shows the gap between the day you intended and the day you got.

  • Deep work share: 20%

    Focused hours as a share of all logged time. It catches the day that was fully booked with meetings but produced nothing.

  • Distraction penalty: 10%

    The inverse of distraction share. It carries the smallest weight on purpose, because some interruption is unavoidable and the score should not punish a normal day.

Why it helps

Why score a day at all

A number you can compare beats a feeling you cannot.

  • Makes days comparable

    "A good week" is mostly recall bias, because you remember the two best days. A daily score removes the guessing.

  • Shows which part is failing

    A low score with high task completion means the problem is meetings, not effort. The four components point at different fixes.

  • Measures whether a change worked

    Move your deep work to the morning for two weeks and compare the averages. That is a much better test than an impression.

  • Makes expectations concrete

    Seeing what six hours of meetings does to focus ratio is a useful thing to show, both to yourself and to whoever books them.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a good score?

Sixty to eighty is a solid working day. Consistently above ninety usually means the plan was too easy rather than the day being exceptional. Your own trend matters far more than the absolute number.

Why is distraction weighted so lightly?

Because some interruption is part of every job. Weighting it heavily would produce a score that punishes people for working with other people, which is not useful feedback.

Should I compare my score with a colleague's?

No. The inputs are self-reported and the roles differ. A support role and a research role cannot be compared this way. Compare only against your own history.
