genius tracker for share

The "Genius Tracker for Share" provides a detailed analysis of work activities over several weeks, assessing time spent in various zones of genius, excellence, competence, and incompetence.

In the instruction sheet, users are guided to download the document to their computers for personal use, starting with a typical week in the "Week 1" tab. They are encouraged to record tasks throughout the day, noting the total hours spent and their self-assessment regarding which zone they operated in. The instructions emphasize the importance of reflection on experiences of flow versus frustration and suggest that users can add or remove rows as needed. At the end of each week, the document automatically tabulates total hours in each zone and calculates the percentage of time spent in the genius zone, with a summary sheet available for tracking progress over multiple weeks.

The sample tab illustrates various tasks along with the hours spent and the corresponding assessment of each task. For instance, during a management team call lasting one hour, the individual felt they were in a zone of incompetence due to feelings of adrenaline and frustration. In contrast, a task involving correspondence via email took two hours and was rated as being in the genius zone, with the individual feeling productive and efficient. Other tasks included reviewing a manuscript, which elicited feelings of anger, and designing a team call, where the individual felt their presence was unnecessary.

Moving to the summary sheet, the data reveals a progression over four weeks. In the first week, a total of 41 hours were worked, with 18 hours in the genius zone, resulting in a 45% genius time. The second week saw a decrease in hours worked to 32, with only 5 hours in the genius zone, reflecting a drop to 16%. However, in the third week, productivity surged to 49 hours, with 30 hours in the genius zone, achieving a high of 60%. The fourth week maintained a steady pace with 37.35 hours worked, 18.8 in the genius zone, and a percentage of 50.33%.

Each week also includes action steps for improvement. For example, in week one, the individual noted relief from management team duties and a need for better delegation. In week two, they recognized the necessity of taking comp days and delegating more tasks. By week three, they expressed enjoyment in deep, authentic conversations, while week four highlighted a focus on appreciating colleagues' contributions.

In the "Week 1" tab, the primary task was facilitating a certification program, which accounted for 8 hours, with 6 hours classified as genius time. The total hours for that week were 8, with a genius percentage of 75%. The accomplishments listed included facilitating the program effectively.

In "Week 2," the individual logged a total of 31.75 hours, with only 5 hours in the genius zone, resulting in a 16% genius time. Tasks included email correspondence, schmoozing at a social event, and presenting at a conference. Notably, the conference attendance was marked by boredom, contrasting with the enjoyment felt during the presentation.

"Week 3" showcased a total of 49.3 hours worked, with 29.5 hours in the genius zone, equating to 60%. Key activities included facilitating sessions at a team retreat, which were highlighted as enjoyable and productive, along with a team appreciation dinner that stood out as a highlight of the week.

Finally, in "Week 4," the individual worked 37.35 hours, with 18.8 hours in the genius zone, achieving a genius percentage of 50.33%. Tasks ranged from calls with colleagues and foundations to preparing for webinars and conferences. The week included reflections on the importance of collaboration and the need to shift back into a more productive mindset.

Throughout the tracking process, the individual recorded various insights and lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of delegation, authentic communication, and the need to engage in tasks that align with their genius.
