Focus Score

The Focus Score is one legible signal for how your day actually went: a daily 0–100 score composed from five honest sub-factors, plotted over time. It exists so you can see whether the changes you make are working — instead of guessing.

Open Focus Score in the TimeCampus navigation to see today's score, its factor breakdown, and the trend.

What you'll learn​

What the score measures​

The overall score is a blend of five named factors, each scored for the day:

FactorWhat it reflects
Deep workHow much sustained, uninterrupted focus the day contained
ConsistencyWhether you worked in a steady rhythm or in scattered bursts
Task completionWhether the day moved work to done, not just kept it busy
Distraction resistanceHow well focus held up against interruptions
Energy managementWhether the day's pacing — including breaks — was sustainable

The breakdown matters more than the headline: two days can score 70 for opposite reasons, and the factor view tells you which lever to pull.

The Focus Score page​

The Focus Score page shows:

  • Today's score with its factor breakdown
  • The trend — a per-day series of score and day-over-day change (for example, the last 30 days), so a good week is distinguishable from a good day
  • The summary — your average, highest, and lowest scores for the period, the overall trend direction, your top factor (what's carrying your score), and your improvement area (the factor with the most headroom)

How the score is calculated​

TimeCampus derives your score from the day's work pattern — the recorded shape of the day: focus, meeting, and break hours, interruptions, deep-work sessions, and energy markers. A richer work pattern for the day means a more faithful score; with little signal, TimeCampus computes a defensible baseline rather than erroring or inventing precision.

You can also record or adjust a score manually for a date. There is one score per day — a manual entry for a date replaces the derived one, it doesn't stack.

Settings​

Focus Score → Settings holds your scoring preferences — tune how scoring behaves for you. Your scores are yours: user-scoped, visible to you.

How to improve it​

Work the factor the summary flags as your improvement area:

Weak factorWhat usually helps
Deep workReserve real blocks — run Pomodoro sessions instead of hoping focus happens
ConsistencyAnchor work to your natural peaks — see Work Patterns
Task completionBreak work into smaller tasks so days can actually finish things
Distraction resistanceTrack interruptions honestly, then remove the top recurring source
Energy managementTake the breaks; a day with no break hours recorded scores like what it is

Then watch the trend, not tomorrow's number. A single day is noise; two weeks of direction is signal.

An honest metric, not a leaderboard​

The Focus Score is built to inform the person it measures — it is insight to change your own behaviour, not a surveillance metric:

  • It is your score, about your day, shown to you.
  • It is not designed for ranking people, and team-level visibility in TimeCampus is aggregate by design — see the privacy model.
  • A low score is information ("meetings ate the deep work"), not a judgment. The right response is a schedule change, not guilt.

If you find yourself optimising the number instead of the day, step back to the factor breakdown — the factors are the point; the number is just the summary.

Roadmap

AI-driven scoring and personalized recommendations — beyond today's deterministic factor blend — are on the roadmap.
