FAQ / Can Clockk show me how efficient and productive I am?

Yes! Although not in the way you might expect.

Some people use tools like Rize or RescueTime to help them see when and how productive they are. By default, these tools group time into “productive” and “unproductive” buckets.

Clockk focuses on your project work. “Productive” and “unproductive” are not very helpful categorizations when you’re billing your day:

• Sometimes emails are wasted time, and sometimes emails are extremely valuable.
• For bookkeepers and accountants, dealing with receipts and bookkeeping software is extremely productive. For a freelancer, it’s a necessary evil.
• Slack can be a terrible distraction, but it’s also where you discuss what you’re working on with your colleagues. Slack can be a more productive alternative to a meeting.
• For a social media manager, a day spent on LinkedIn is a successful day. For everyone else, GET BACK TO WORK! 😂

With Clockk, you focus on grouping your work by project. Then you can look back at your day: were you jumping between projects a lot, or did you have a long chunk of focused time on one or two projects.

Efficiency/productivity tracking is a side benefit of how Clockk works. You can tell you’ve had an efficient, productive day if you’ve spent a lot of your time on meaningful work.

These are some projects you might want to set up, in addition to your actual work projects:

• Internal Administration — Depends what you consider admin work. Maybe HR files, or bookkeeping, or dealing with the legal team?
• Internal Time wasters — YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, etc. Any tool where you spend your time when you’re not moving your project work forward.

Clockk won’t tell you that you had a productive day, but when you look at the activity view, it will be pretty obvious if you were productive or not.
