There are many resources online which discuss productivity. Google Trends show many of them on the rise at the moment, as everyone looks to get more things done, faster, quicker, smarter. Productivity monitoring – getting the most from your teams is a growing subject and there are many smart new ways of doing this.
There’s a great here reviewing a piece of software called RescueTime, which is the ultimate in productivity monitoring. Yes it’s Big Brother, however I use it on myself to show myself I not only work hard, but have effective days too. It’s free too which is cool.
You could try it on yourself before trying it on your teams too. I bet they would actually be really interested in making the most of their days if they really thought about it…
We’ve recently introduced a new version of our time and activity analytics solution, Slife v2.0. It’s now available for Mac/Windows and you can extend it to multiple users with Slife Teams.

It’s similar to RescueTime in some ways. Give it a try – the Slife client is free. We would love to know what you think.
