Track your personal productivity, skills, and wealth using MyProgress

Posted on October 28, 2007 at 10:53 am

MyProgress is a web service that allows you to track your life in many different areas such as financial, wealth, health, skills, knowledge, and more. The site tracks everything that a user enters, including any new purchases, investments, transportation costs, etc and provides a detailed overview of how you are progressing in relation to others across several categories, such as age, occupation and health.

The really interesting thing about MyProgress is it’s ability to compare your data with that of others who are in related fields, age, or locations. For example, you enter in all of your transportation costs for a month and MyProgress will tell you whether you’re spending too much on transportation or not based on what others are spending in your area.

It’s basically broken down into three categories right now: financial progress, skills and knowledge, and wealth progress. For financial progress, you can see your rank in terms of salary by age, location or occupation. It can also build forecasts for you or analytics.

For skills and knowledge, you can record your time performing just about any activity, such as running, watching TV, reading books, building things, etc and see how much experience you have with those items in relation to others. Check out the average statistics for other people in the community and the top and lowest skills/knowledge.

Lastly for wealth, you can track how wealthy you are compared to others in the US or even in other countries using actual currency exchange rates.

The concept for the site is really cool, but the only problem is that it’s really a pain to enter in all of the information in the first place. If it could pull in info from Quicken or something, I might use it, but if I have to type in everything one by one, I’d rather not. However, if you’ve never used any tracking software before, this might be for you. You’ll also have to keep updating it frequently. The other problem is that it’s personal information that people might not want to have stored on the web!

It would be far too embarassing for me to track my personal productivity as I spend an inordinate amount of time commenting on blogs instead of doing any proper work!
