Your Momentum Score is a simple 0–100 number that estimates how much forward motion you have right now — the kind that makes goals feel easier, habits feel automatic, and progress compound. Enter a few inputs about your last 7–14 days and get a score, a label, and a clear plan to raise it.
Don’t overthink. Momentum isn’t “perfect productivity.” It’s the feeling that the next step is easier than the last one. Use honest estimates — the calculator is designed to be useful even if the inputs are approximate.
“Momentum” is the feeling that you’re moving forward and that forward motion is getting easier — not harder. When you have momentum, you don’t need a motivational speech to start. You sit down and the work almost pulls you in. When you don’t have momentum, every step feels like pushing a car uphill.
This Momentum Score calculator turns that fuzzy feeling into a concrete number. The goal is not to “win” the highest score forever. The goal is to diagnose what is making progress easy or difficult right now, and then adjust the levers that matter most.
Momentum is not the same as being busy. You can be exhausted and busy while making very little progress — that’s high friction. Momentum is also not “working 14-hour days.” In fact, extreme overwork often increases friction later (fatigue, sloppy decisions, low focus) and your score drops. Momentum is what happens when your actions are consistent, your progress is visible, and your environment supports deep focus.
Momentum is one of those things everyone feels, but most people can’t name. That makes it perfect for sharing: you can screenshot a number, a label, and a one-sentence explanation — and friends instantly know whether they’re in a “stuck,” “building,” or “unstoppable” phase. It’s the same reason step counts, sleep scores, and streaks spread: it turns behavior into a story.
The calculator uses a weighted model. Each input is converted to a 0–100 sub-score, then combined into a final score. Friction reduces the score because interruptions and context switching are momentum killers.
Final score is computed as:
Momentum = 0.20·Streak + 0.20·Progress + 0.20·Focus + 0.15·Energy + 0.10·Sleep + 0.10·Clarity − 0.15·Friction + Trend
Trend is a small adjustment: +4 for upward, 0 for flat, −4 for downward. Then we clamp the result to 0–100.
Below are realistic scenarios to show how the inputs translate into a score. Use them as a mirror for your week, not as a standard you “should” hit.
Streak 2 days, Progress 35%, Focus 1.0h, Energy 4/10, Friction 7/10, Sleep 6.0h, Clarity 3/10, Trend down. This person is likely doing a lot of “resetting” — starting tasks, getting interrupted, and feeling behind. The calculator will output a low-to-mid score with a “Stuck / Rebuilding” label.
Streak 8 days, Progress 65%, Focus 2.5h, Energy 6/10, Friction 4/10, Sleep 7.0h, Clarity 6/10, Trend flat. This looks like healthy traction. Their work is happening consistently, but not always at full intensity. The output is usually mid-to-high: “Building Momentum.”
Streak 21 days, Progress 80%, Focus 3.5h, Energy 8/10, Friction 2/10, Sleep 7.5h, Clarity 9/10, Trend up. This is the classic “momentum flywheel.” Note that it’s not extreme hours — it’s consistent wins with low friction. The output is high: “High Momentum / On a Roll.”
Momentum is most useful as a trend, not a one-time judgment. Run this once per week, save the result, and ask: “What changed?” The answer is usually one of these:
The “Save Result” button stores your score on this device so you can compare your last 10 checks. That’s the simplest momentum journal you can keep.
Not exactly. Motivation is a feeling that comes and goes. Momentum is a pattern you build. Once the pattern exists (streak + progress + low friction), starting takes less motivation.
No. A low score usually means your system has too much friction, your plan is too large, or you’re under-recovered. Treat it as a diagnostic. Fix one lever and you can raise your score quickly.
Because the goal is sustainable momentum, not burnout. Many high-output days come from 2–4 solid hours of deep work plus good systems — not from endless time.
Shrink the daily action to a “minimum viable step” you can do even on a bad day. Momentum comes from never fully stopping.
Anything that makes your work restart: notifications, constant meetings, unclear tasks, messy tools, poor handoffs, multitasking, and “quick questions” that break your focus.
Yes — use streak as workouts, progress as planned training completion, focus as training quality, energy and sleep as recovery, and friction as schedule disruption. It’s a general momentum model.

Think of the score as a “momentum weather report.” It tells you what kind of day you’re likely to have if nothing changes. Here’s the quick guide:
