Work data for focus time

Protect your team's focus time, one meeting at a time

Six hours of meetings costs a team far more than six hours, and nobody can say which one to move. Insightful shows you which meeting is doing the damage, and who is already over.

Know which meeting to move, instead of guessing

Without Insightful

Without Insightful

Someone says the week is unmanageable

You believe them, and you still have no idea which meeting to touch.

Six booked hours looks like six booked hours

The calendar says two teams had the same week. They did not.

The calendar misses half of it

Unbooked calls, message threads and email take hours nobody counted.

You hear someone is drowning too late

Usually after the date slipped, or after they had already decided.

Nobody knows if the change worked

You moved a meeting last month and have no idea what it bought.

With Insightful

You can name the meeting doing the damage

The one with the most hours behind it, and the worst place in the day.

You see what each week actually left

One team kept a whole morning. The other never got forty minutes.

The unbooked hours are counted too

A call nobody put in a calendar still shows up against the week.

You can see it today

Today's load next to a normal one, while you can still move something.

You can check what it bought

The month before and the month after, on the same measures.

No credit card required

Move one meeting instead of cancelling ten

What gets counted

We count that a meeting happened, not what was said

Insightful records that a meeting ran, in which application, and how long. No audio, no video, no transcript. Narrow by design, so a useful two-hour meeting and a useless one look the same here.

Desk-based knowledge work
Windows, macOS and Linux, on a primary computer. Not a warehouse floor, a retail floor or a driving fleet.
The team, not the person
Reporting is team level by default. A week arriving in pieces is a property of a calendar rather than of a person, and it reads that way.
The meeting, not the content
That it happened, in which application, and for how long. No audio, no video, no transcript, no notes and no keystroke logging.
Focus time

What to move, and who to help first

On their own, each report answers half a question. Read together they tell you which meeting to move and which team is already over, which are the two things a manager actually has to decide.

Is the load spread fairly across my team?

Meeting hours read across the team rather than person by person, against the month before.

Can I defend this change to the people it affects?

Everyone sees the same numbers you do, which is what a calendar change has to survive.

Is this a calendar problem or a workload one?

The month-long version of the same question, and the page that answers it rather than this one.

It’s embedded in our DNA to use Insightful. Everyone, from a team member or manager to the overall leadership team, looks at it. And we are using it more and more to make decisions, and to really predict capacity problems or capacity successes.

We didn't know if we were overspending on licensing or underspending. Insightful's quickly been able to allow us to see that utilization across our entire organization spectrum.

Every place the day's coordination happens, connected

Your conferencing applications, your chat stack and your calendar sit beside the record, and the split works with none of them connected. You can talk to your work data with MCP connectors.

Name the meeting before you cancel anything

Two weeks is enough to say which standing meetings are taking the longest runs of the day. Moving one to the edge of the afternoon costs nothing.

FAQ

What HR leaders ask us most

How is this different from the Communication Report?

The Communication Report is the feature that produces the split: meetings, calls, messages and email totaled against time on the work, by team and by application. This page is what a People team does with it next, which is one decision rather than four reports. If you are evaluating the reporting itself, that page is the one to read.

How do I protect focus time across a team?

Count what the week actually left, not what the calendar booked. Insightful is a work insights platform. It collects hours, application use and meeting load from desk-based teams and reports them by team, each measure against the period before. On this job that means every meeting, call and message thread is counted, meetings break out by type, by size and by how often they repeat, and the hours are captured as the work happens rather than typed in on Friday. Two teams can book the same six hours of meetings and only one still has a whole morning, which is why moving one standing meeting to the edge of the day beats canceling ten.

Does it need our calendar connected to work?

No. The split works from activity data alone, which is also why an unscheduled call counts and a meeting somebody declined does not. Connecting a calendar adds the breakdown between scheduled meetings and ad-hoc coordination. Worth confirming your exact stack on the call.

Is this the same as reading workload over a quarter?

No, and the difference is the time frame. This page is about the week you are in: which standing meeting is taking the longest runs of the day, and what the coordination actually took once the unbooked calls were counted. Reading one person's load rising over a month, and what to do about it, is Prevent Burnout & Retention. Start here if somebody is already complaining about the week.

Is this reported per person or per team?

Team level by default. A week arriving in pieces is a property of a team's calendar rather than of a person, and reading it per person turns a scheduling fix into a conversation about somebody's character. The person-level read exists and is a decision to make before deployment rather than after somebody finds the export. In a visible rollout each person can open their own record.
