There is one easy way to measure your input.
Just check how many +1:s you have given inside the platform.
Come on, giving a +1 is a positive action, be it on a post or comment.
So, how many?
Check the amount here on your Google Dashboard.
Mine are 94270 given +1:s inside G+, at the moment,
Many ask this. Well, with tens of thousands of given +1's it's not feasible, the list would eat a lot of bandwidth and slow everything down.
+1 is like a blown kiss, once bestowed, quickly forgotten... :-)
You can use +1 button for sharing to G+ from the web / saving stuff on your +1 tab (G+ profile) from web. Here's my tab in case you're interested.
- before last update in FEB one could also save Google+ posts with this external +1 button, they appeared on the same +1 tab but this feature seems to have stopped working...
There is a new use coming for the external +1's given on any website.
This is the search I did for Chromebook like you can see in the image below, and here is the general search for given Plusones on a number of topics from your circles.
I think this G+ search feature is still in progress, but interesting nevertheless.
When someone comments on my posts and the comment is not just Hiii or LOL, I usually give a +1 to the it, just to show appreciation.

Mine are 94270 given +1:s inside G+, at the moment,
on average 159 per day since June 30th 2011 (593 days).
Just divide your given +1's with the days you've been using G+.
Just divide your given +1's with the days you've been using G+.
Use this tool to get the number of days.
Don't remember when you started on Google+?
Check here for when you posted for the first time in public, maybe that helps.
Copy your own G+ ID number from your profile URL and insert it to replace mine.

Why is it not possible to see what I have Plussed inside Google+?

What do the people in your Circles recommend
There is a new use coming for the external +1's given on any website.
I found this search feature on Google:
Find the Plusone (+1) recommendations from your circles in Google+ search!

I think this G+ search feature is still in progress, but interesting nevertheless.
What if one does not want to +1...
When I read my stream, I give +1's on many posts to show I've read it and also to other people's interesting comments.
If I'm not very busy, I do add a comment. If I really like the post, I share it.
There is no one right way how to use Google+ so everyone can do as they wish. I have found a good pattern for myself, which works.
I try to comment as much as I can on my own posts and if I'm busy at least reward people for taking the time to comment by giving them +1's in the threads.
That's a big part of the engaging to me: For someone else another pattern may work better.
There is no must on Google+.
