Home/Productivity Index

Personal Productivity Index (PPI)

Tracks real productivity performance using RescueTime's Productivity Pulse metric. Values above 100 indicate higher productivity than the 2025 average baseline. The index measures time spent in productive vs distracting activities, with scores ranging from 0 (100% distracting) to 100+ (highly focused work). Based on actual computer usage data, not self-reported estimates.
