How do you measure your productivity?

I am using Toggl and Timery for iOS (which is also using Toggle platform) for tracking almost everything in my life. I separate activity by categories: social media/communities, different types of learning (e.g. programming, photography), work. Usually work is also separated by projects I am working on. Weekly or even monthly I analyze how much time I spend on everything and tweak my next month's plan accordingly. My planning is similar to the one described in "Shape Up" by Basecamp. I am planning for sprints (which is calendar month) and I decide how much time (usually days) I am goinna work on each task. I also have bunch of recurring tasks I do every day with dedicated time (e.g. 2 hours of learning, 30 minute of reading, 30 minute of excersice etc.)

I use ProProfs Help Desk (https://www.proprofsdesk.com/) to track the productivity of my customer support team. Earlier it was quite difficult to understand who worked for how many hours and how many tickets. We had to do everything manually, and the process was cumbersome. Thanks to this tool, monitoring agent productivity has become a breeze now. The tool’s powerful reporting system helps me track the productivity level of each of the agents. It gives a sneak-peek into the number of tickets opened and resolved by agents, customer ratings on the experience received, number of tickets pending, and much more. The best part is I can see agent performance on a daily, weekly as well as monthly basis. That is even more helpful at times when I want to see how an agent performs every day or every week.

I use the ismartlife ( https://www.producthunt.com/post... ) application. It has a section with reports and I study them periodically. The reports are quite simple and allow you to understand how many tasks were completed during the period and the difference from the previous one. There is also an activity indicator. The more tasks I do, the higher the indicator.

I prepare a list of things to do during a day/week/month. Then not completed vs. completed tasks is my productivity. I also use gut feeling a lot. Even when I run out of time to do something I planned, I may feel good if I see that I worked well, and there are some real results.

We use TMetric time tracker on daily basis in our team. https://tmetric.com/ The app is extremely easy-to-use and featured. At any time you can check activity level which provided via diagram, get different productivity and detailed reports (project, tasks, team summary etc). I think this way of productivity control is really convenient and doesn't require any special skills or preparings. To be the most productive person, you can use TMetric integrations (e.g. JIRA, Asana, Todoist, Github etc).

I use daily and weekly tasks, then I measure productivity by the number of tasks that I completed. I also make a point of no more than 3 tasks make each list(daily/weekly). This way I'm not putting unrealistic pressure on myself

We recently started using the Shape Up method by Basecamp (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) - not a direct measure of productivity but there are some features that keeps me and my team feeling like we're moving forward

This is actually one of my issues too. I really do not know how should I measure it and I'm completely sure that it should not be based on hours you're working or even the tasks you complete during the day because both of them do not show the quality of tasks you complete

I use an online to-do list and the seven habits time management matrix. At the end of each week, I can see how productive based on what's been done/hasn't been done in each category. Similar to Andrey though, there sometimes is just gut feel, you know if something super important's completed, but something else on your to-do got missed. The seven habits time management matrix really helps me with organising tasks and cutting out distractions and unimportant tasks. I also use Pine for my to-dos.

I want to ask someone who makes daily / weekly / monthly plans. When I sit down to plan for the week, sometimes I realize that I miss out on a lot of things or sometimes I realize that I put myself overwork that week. What do you pay attention to while making your plans? How do you maintain workload balance? @andrey_mi @bentheredonethat @alexandragc and other peope

I'm using forest app to help me focus, but not for professional use.

For me is more about the goals I set up each week. I consider how productive I am based on achieving my weekly goals. I tried with daily tasks and lists but sometimes the day doesn't go as planned and I was getting frustrated I didn't do all the things for the day. Not sure if it is a good way to do it but it works for me.

I use Clockify for time tracking. I use it only for tracking time spent on tasks that are either important or urgent. At the end of a week, if I have clocked more than 40 hours, I consider it a productive week.
