My Work & Scores
What is Focus Calibration and how does it change my Focus score?
The short questions after AI Breakdown, what each answer changes, and how DoTally remembers your preferences.
Focus Calibration is a short set of questions DoTally asks about your day after AI Breakdown has scored it. Your answers adjust that day’s Focus score, so it reflects how your work really went, whether that’s a background playlist, necessary app-switching or a genuinely scattered afternoon.
When you’ll see the questions
On the web dashboard, open My Work → Day for a day that has been logged and scored. If that day still has questions, a window titled How did today feel? opens. You can see up to four questions per day, one at a time, and Skip any of them.
What it asks
About time on a social or streaming app marked unproductive. For example, was it background noise while working, an intentional break, or did you get distracted? For social apps, the choices include work-related research.
About switching between apps, only on days with a lot of switching. For example, was it normal for your work, or too many interruptions?
How focused did you feel today? Every day, from Extremely focused to Very distracted.
What your answers change
That day’s Focus score. Depending on your answer, it goes up, goes down or stays the same, and it’s recalculated.
Your Overall score, because it’s built from Productivity and Focus. Your Productivity score doesn’t change.
Later days, for some answers. When you tell DoTally an app is background noise or work research, or that heavy switching is normal for you, it remembers that and applies it to later days without asking again.
Skipping a question leaves the score as AI Breakdown calculated it.
How to see or reset what DoTally remembered
Go to Profile Settings → Focus Score Calibration. You’ll see the preferences DoTally has learned from your answers. Remove one if you want to be asked about it again.
Available on: Team Professional, including the 14-day trial. Focus Calibration needs a Focus score, and scores aren’t part of Team StartUp.
