  • Publication number: 20100179993
    Abstract: A method is presented for monitoring electronic communications to facilitate productivity. The method may include detecting the opening of an electronic message on a computer and storing a start time corresponding to the opening. Metadata associated with the electronic message may be recorded. Such metadata may include, for example, a recipient, a sender, a subject, and a number of words typed. The method may further detect the closing of the electronic message, and may store an end time corresponding to the closing. Efficiency metrics associated with the message may be calculated based on the start time, the end time, and the metadata. Efficiency metrics may include, for example, total time spent, total word count, and number of words typed per minute. A report reflecting the metadata and the efficiency metrics may be generated.
