New Efficiency Graph
Very visual, very cool and very population relevant. As you said in the blog the previous 2-phase numbered system was confusing-efficiency/productivity? The ribbon is a cool idea too; make me feel I won something.
The numbers are still very subjective based on the user rating for productive or distracting activities. Teams may be able to handle this better.
Improvements: perhaps the graph is just a bit too big. I presume the maximum score is 2 and that the dotted line represent median or average? perhaps it is written somewhere but you probably know by now that most people don't read all the fine print.
Even if I am off on my interpretation of what is productive, I can still see if my relationship to the "rest" is rising or falling - that is still a measure of some sort of productivity.
Well done :-)

I’m visually gratified

Inappropriate?Thanks guy! We already have a few minor improvements in mind based on great feedback (like this one)... We'll improve that big graph a touch (and make it clearer).
You're right about the #s being subjective. Teams obviously can combat this by having 1 person (or a few people) making that determination.
On the free-user front, we combat this by having a very simple scoring mechanism where you just have 5 choices. The hope here is that people rate their most productive stuff as a +2, sorta productive stuff as a +1, etc. Because RescueTime is a voluntary app, there's not a lot of incentive to cheat (hopefully). :-)
I’m thankful
