How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the available time or target capacity for the period.
  2. Add the workload drivers such as meetings, tasks, habits, interruptions, or deadlines.
  3. Click calculate to review the score, status, risk, and recommendation.

What the result means

The result shows how much uninterrupted work is realistically available after coordination and distraction costs.

Weekly Focus Time = Weekly Work Hours − Meetings/Admin − Interruptions

If weekly focus achievement is below 75%, reduce meetings or admin load before adding more tasks.

Example calculation

With 40 work hours, 14 hours of meetings and admin, 4 hours of interruptions, and a 20-hour goal, you have 22 focus hours and reach 110% of the goal.

Tips for better results

  • Create meeting-free blocks on your best energy days.
  • Reduce notification-driven interruption loss.
  • Use 90-minute blocks for demanding work.

FAQ

How many focus hours should I have each week?

A strong target is often 15 to 25 focus hours per week, depending on role and meeting load.

Is 20 hours of deep work enough?

Yes, 20 hours of genuine deep work is a strong week for many knowledge workers.

How do interruptions affect weekly productivity?

Interruptions reduce available focus time and often create additional recovery time before flow returns.

What is a healthy focus ratio?

A focus ratio above 40% is strong; below 25% suggests the week is dominated by shallow work.

How can I increase weekly deep work?

Group meetings, batch admin tasks, and schedule focus blocks before reactive work begins.
