I am always interested in add-ons to Gmail. An article in AVC lead me to Gmail Meter. Gmail Meter analyzes your email behavior, but it is not a Google app or even an add-on. This services analyzes your email behavior in more detail than I have found elsewhere.
My report from Gmail Meter showed that in September:
- I received 2839 emails, less than I thought but calendar invites and other types of email are stripped out
- I sent 1075 emails to 188 people
My daily email traffic looks like this:
This chart suggests to me I should check email at 8 am, 1130 am and 430 pm and not as often as I apparently do. Also shows I have been sleeping in til 6am more than I thought.
As you might expect from the style of this blog my responses to emails are short.
Time to respond to emails surprised me. Don't expect quick responses. Urgent matters should be by text message.
Always interesting to look at data that gives one insights into oneself.
