You know it when you find yourself sending emails during meetings just to stay afloat. But what if you could look at how you spend time at work, identify those low-priority meetings and activities, and free up your calendar for more productive tasks?
After all, we all have our own individual ways of working—so why don’t we have individual work analytics?
Where Does the Time Go?
First things first, to understand individual productivity it helps to look at how the organization functions as a whole, According to a report by McKinsey Global Institute, this is what the average workweek looks like:
Time Spent, by Task

- 19% – Searching for and gathering information
- 14% – Communicating and collaborating internally
