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.

Why "partly" counts as half
The honest check at the end of every block has three answers, not two. The middle one is doing the most work, and this is the arithmetic behind it.
MethodThe week starts on the deciding, not the doing
Logging your day from memory at 6pm is guesswork. There are exactly two moments when you actually know the answer, and neither of them is Friday.
MindsetWhy your calendar lies about your productivity
A packed calendar measures availability, not progress. Here is the number to watch instead, and why it only exists if you decide something first.
