Is how someone spends their time really a good measure of productivity?
It’s a good measure, but not a perfect measure. We all know team members who are able to get more done in less time (though we suspect that the majority of people incorrectly think that they are “above average” in terms of their workplace efficiency). How you choose to spend your time strongly correlates with workplace productivity, especially when examined over longer periods of time. Additionally, RescueTime is a great measure of engagement and workload. Many people who have sub-par time management in RescueTime are really just disengaged or undertasked.
