Measure What Your Productivity App Won't
Ten assessments grounded in peer-reviewed research. No accounts, no tracking, no judgment — just data about what your nervous system has been trying to tell you.
The Burnout Score Calculator
Measure the three dimensions of occupational burnout
Based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), developed by Christina Maslach and Susan E. Jackson at UC Berkeley
Nervous SystemThe Nervous System State Test
Map your autonomic nervous system profile
Based on Polyvagal Theory, developed by Stephen Porges at Indiana University
Decision ArchitectureThe Overthinking Diagnostic
Identify your rumination patterns
Based on the Rumination Response Scale developed by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema at Yale University, combined with decision fatigue research by Roy Baumeister
Strategic BoredomFind Your Rest Style
Discover which type of rest your nervous system actually needs — because "just relax" is not a strategy.
Based on Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's 2019 framework identifying seven distinct types of rest, each serving a different neurological and psychological function. Most people are deficient in at least three.
Decision ArchitectureDecision Fatigue Score
Measure how depleted your decision-making capacity really is — because willpower is not a personality trait, it is a finite resource.
Based on Roy Baumeister's ego depletion research demonstrating that decision-making draws from a finite cognitive resource pool, and Shai Danziger's 2011 study showing that Israeli judges granted parole at 65% after breaks but near 0% before them
Optimization ParadoxDigital Overwhelm Assessment
Find out which dimension of digital life is costing you the most cognitive clarity — because the problem is not your screen time, it is what that time is doing to your attention.
Based on Gloria Mark's research at UC Irvine showing that the average attention span on a screen dropped from 2.5 minutes in 2004 to 47 seconds in 2023, and Cal Newport's work on digital minimalism demonstrating that intentional technology use
Nervous SystemWork-Rest Ratio Guide
Find out whether your work-to-recovery ratio is sustainable — because the question is not how hard you can push, but how well you can restore.
Based on Anders Ericsson's research on deliberate practice showing that elite performers across domains work in focused 90-minute blocks followed by genuine recovery
Restorative EnvironmentsDesign Your Recovery Space
Your environment is not neutral — it is either restoring your nervous system or quietly draining it. Most people have never audited the difference.
Based on Roger Ulrich's landmark 1984 study showing that hospital patients with a view of trees recovered faster than those facing a brick wall, and Oshin Vartanian's 2013 neuroarchitecture research demonstrating that room geometry measurably alters brain activity and emotional states.
Nervous SystemStress Response Profile
Your body has a default reaction to threat — and it was programmed long before you had any say in it. This assessment maps which survival response runs your nervous system.
Based on Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory (1994), which maps three hierarchical nervous system states, and Pete Walker's 2013 identification of the fawn response as a fourth survival strategy common in relational trauma.
Cultural CritiqueHustle Culture Exit Plan
The most insidious part of hustle culture is that it convinced you the exhaustion was your fault — that you just needed better systems, more discipline, a tighter morning routine. This assessment measures something different: how deep the ideology has embedded itself in your identity.
Based on Derek Thompson's 2019 analysis of "workism"
