Two numbers, read together

Plan alignment and weekly focus share measure different things on purpose. Collapsing them into one score hides the week you actually had.

The third Admin block ran, but stops at the cap, surplus never fills the Delivery gap.

PomoZentra shows two percentages every day: plan alignment and weekly focus share. They look similar. They're measuring two different questions, and reading only one of them hides half the story.

Plan alignment: did you do what you said

Of the blocks you planned for each area, how many did you actually match. A partly-productive block counts half. This number can hit 100% on a week you planned badly, if you planned three Admin blocks and ran three Admin blocks, you're perfectly aligned to a plan that maybe wasn't ambitious.

Weekly focus share: did it go to what mattered

Of everything you logged, how much landed in the one to three areas you named as this week's priority. This number can be low even in a week where you were perfectly aligned to your own plan, if that plan didn't put enough blocks against Revenue or Delivery in the first place.

Why not just average them

A single blended score would let a good number in one column quietly cover for a bad one in the other. Keeping them separate means a specific problem, bad planning versus bad execution, stays visible as a specific problem, instead of dissolving into one vague "productivity" figure.

Key takeaways

  • Plan alignment asks whether you did what you said, per work area.
  • Weekly focus share asks whether the week's attention reached the areas you named as priority.
  • You can score full alignment on a badly planned week, which is why the second number exists.
  • Blending them would let a good number quietly cover a bad one.
