One of the biggest mistakes so many of us make when planning out our days is to assume we have 8+ hours to do productive work. How much of our day is spent working on a digital device? On November 14th, the average productivity pulse across all RescueTime users was a not-so-shabby 60. So for example, if you’re a writer, time spent in Microsoft Word or Google Docs is categorized as very productive while social media is very distracting.įrom that data, we calculate your productivity pulse-a score out of 100 for how much of your time you spent on activities that you deem productive. RescueTime is a tool that tracks how you spend your time on your computer and phone and let’s you categorize activities on a scale from very distracting to very productive. Now, what do we mean when we talk about the “most” or “least” productive days? January 6th-the first Friday of the year-was the least productive day of 2017. On the other side of the spectrum, we didn’t get a good start to the year. With American Thanksgiving the next week and the mad holiday rush shortly after, mid-November is a great time for people to cram in a few extra work hours and get caught up before gorging on Turkey dinner. In fact, that entire week ranked as the most productive of the year. Simply put, our data shows that people were the most productive on November 14th. What was the most (and least) productive day of 2017? Want to start understanding where your own time goes every day? Sign up for RescueTime for free today.
