# Track and improve your daily productivity score

> See how Floutwork automatically scores your daily workflow, surfaces where your time goes, and helps you spot patterns to improve over time.

Most productivity tracking requires you to manually log time or fill in reports — which means the tracking itself becomes another task. Floutwork's **Productivity Metrics** work differently: they measure your workflow automatically as you use Floutwork throughout the day, then surface a daily score, a time breakdown, and specific insights about where you're focused and where you're losing time. No manual input required.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Productivity Metrics from the sidebar">
    Click **Productivity Metrics** in the left sidebar, or navigate to it from your home screen. The metrics dashboard shows your current day's data alongside recent history so you can see trends at a glance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View your daily productivity score">
    At the top of the dashboard, you'll see your productivity score for the day. The score reflects your actual workflow — how much focused work you did, how often you switched contexts, how well your time mapped to your planned tasks, and similar signals.

    <Note>
      The score is calculated automatically from how you work inside Floutwork. The more you use Floutwork as your primary work environment, the more complete and accurate your score becomes.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your time breakdown">
    Below the score, **Productivity Metrics** shows a breakdown of where your time went across apps, projects, and categories. You can see:

    * Which apps you spent the most time in.
    * How your time was distributed across different workspaces or projects.
    * How much of your day was spent in focused work versus context-switching or communication.

    This breakdown is generated from your actual activity — nothing needs to be configured in advance.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Identify gaps and wins from the insights">
    Floutwork surfaces specific insights based on your data — not just numbers, but interpretations:

    * **Wins:** things that went well, like a long uninterrupted focus session or a day where your schedule matched your plan.
    * **Gaps:** patterns that cost you time, like frequent app-switching, time spent in low-priority areas, or tasks that ran over.
    * **Growth opportunities:** specific areas where a small change in behavior could improve your score.

    <Tip>
      Check your metrics at the end of each workday as a short reflection habit. Five minutes of review at the end of the day is enough to notice patterns before they become entrenched.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set focus intentions for the next day based on patterns">
    Use what you've learned from the insights to plan tomorrow:

    1. Look at which type of work got crowded out today.
    2. Add or reprioritize tasks in the **Tasks** panel to reflect what you want to protect time for.
    3. Let Floutwork reschedule tasks into your calendar based on the updated priorities.

    Over time, the combination of daily review and intentional planning creates a feedback loop — your metrics improve because you're making better decisions based on what the data shows.

    <Note>
      The longer you use Floutwork, the more context the metrics have to work with. Insights become sharper over weeks as Floutwork learns your typical patterns and what "a good day" looks like for you specifically.
