Do you know your personal productivity score?
In an era where Netflix, Facebook, and Twitter rule, and with the 2018 first quarter earnings season coming up, the average-time-spent-per-user is a metric that matters for these companies.
However, the average-time-spent-per-user on these sites — or perhaps the time spent away from them — matters much more for each of us!

We worked with Bob Pozen, who now teaches at MIT, to create a Personal Productivity Index that helps you measure your own productivity based on answers to a set of pointed questions.
Pozen, who previously headed two global asset managers as former president of Fidelity Investments and executive chairman of MFS Investment Management, is trying to help you unlock your full potential through his work on productivity.

For example, do you think procrastination is a problem you’d like to address?
Pozen asks – do you overcome procrastination by breaking projects into pieces, and rewarding yourself for completing a piece? Do you score small wins, and reward yourself for the wins?

He has concrete suggestions for you to consciously choose and act upon.
This is well illustrated by his questions on emails in his Index. How often do you check your emails? Do you discard a majority of your emails as not worth your time? How do you respond to the really important emails you receive?

There is a broad variety of topics covered, from actionable leads on routinizing and planning your day, to effective communication skills and managing meetings.
By answering the questions in the Index, you will be forced to focus on which of your habits increase your productivity and which do not. The point is to help you measure your personal productivity, and save it. Then set goals and come back to measure again, and monitor progress regularly against your goals.

Now, could an increase in the aggregate productivity score of a large user population, result in a decline in the average-time-spent-per-user metric for Facebook, Netflix, and Twitter? Could that impact the stock price for these companies?

Despite the recent decline, it is worth noting that the US and global stock indices are not too far from their all-time highs.
Perhaps it’s time to work on getting our own Personal Productivity Index as high as possible!
