At Curiosen, we believe that curiosity and self-awareness are the keys to meaningful growth. That’s why we’ve created a set of simple, data-driven web tools to help you understand how you spend your time, build habits that last, and turn small daily actions into long-term change.
These tools aren’t about adding more noise to your routine — they’re about clarity. Whether you want to measure your productivity or strengthen your consistency, Curiosen Tools are here to help you grow smarter, not harder.
Productivity Calculator
Time is one resource you can’t get back, yet many of us use it and feel like the day slipped through our fingers.
Research into time-efficiency shows that being consciously aware of how you spend your minutes is a critical first step.
A productivity calculator helps you quantify how efficiently you’re working or living, turning vague feelings of “I was busy all day” into actual numbers.
For example, if you work 8 hours and only 6 of them were “billable” (or directly productive), your productivity is 6/8 = 75%.
How it works
- You input your total time (e.g., planned work hours) and the focused deep work you used for productive tasks (e.g., total planned tasks).
- The tool computes a “productivity percentage” — how much of your time was technically productive vs other.
- It helps you spot inefficiencies: idle time, switching tasks, non-core tasks, etc.
- It then gives you a benchmark: if you want to raise productivity, you know what to aim for.
Tools like this are used in both individual and organizational settings to align effort with goals.
Habit Builder
We’re shaped more by our behaviours than by our grand ambitions. As noted by researchers, “habits are the small decisions you make and actions you perform every day.”
These behaviours operate via a loop: cue → routine → reward. When repeated consistently in the same context, they become automatic.
Research shows that building a new habit can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days, with an average of ~66 days to feel automatic.
Using a tool like a habit-builder shifts you from hoping you’ll “remember to do it” to systematically creating the conditions where it happens.
How it works
- Lets you pick a habit you want to build (or change) and define the trigger/cue, the action, and the reward/feedback.
- Helps you track consistency over days/weeks — visualising your progress and reinforcing the routine.
- Plays with context: you select when/where the habit will happen, which is critical for automaticity.
- Enables reflection: when you miss a day, you can ask why — cue didn’t happen? Reward too weak?
- Encourages small steps and repetition, simpler actions get ingrained faster.
Conclusion
With the Productivity Calculator and the Habit Builder, you’re equipped with both metrics (how you’re using time) and mechanics (how you change behaviour).
Use the productivity calculator to get clarity on where you are. Use the habit builder to move where you want to be.
Together they form a foundation for growth: from “I feel like I’m always busy” to “I can see what matters and shape my habits around it.”
