Finding Suitable Metrics
To reiterate, the goal of this benchmarking is to maximize the amount of things done.
I think there are two main factors that affect this metric:
- How much time is actually spent doing tasks
- How effectively time is spent doing tasks
Both factors are not very straightforward to improve, as they tend to get better with practice. However, some measures for anti-procrastination and anti-distraction may help to speed up the progress for the first factor.
