Today’s LITS TechTip® features Time Insights and Labeling within Google Calendar. These are two features that make it much easier to track where your time goes throughout the day/week. If you’ve never heard of it, congratulations – you are one of today’s lucky 10,000! Here’s a snapshot of how it works:

• Google will tally how long you are spending in each meeting ‘label’. Time Insights can be found by clicking ‘More Insights’ on the left-hand side of your calendar (can’t see it? Click the hamburger “Main Menu” button at the top-left corner of your calendar)
• Tallies are shown by the day, week, or month depending on your own calendar view. 

This is how my week has looked:
