productivity
Work per hour
Productivity is the rate at which work gets done or goods are produced.
In economics, it measures output relative to input—labor, time, or resources: The new machinery doubled our productivity.
In everyday use, productivity describes personal efficiency and the satisfying completion of tasks: I had a productive morning.
Productivity culture celebrates constant optimization and output, sometimes to unhealthy extremes.
