Google's New Account Activity Dashboard Breaks Down Your Gmail Productivity and Other Account Activity

Google's freshly released Account Activity dashboard creates a monthly report that lays out how you're using Google, from your Gmail activity to your account sign-in locations.

Obviously the most interesting stat for most of us will be the Gmail analysis, though Googler Andreas Tuerk offers a broader view:

[M]y most recent Account Activity report told me that I sent 5 percent more email than the previous month and received 3 percent more. An Italian hotel was my top Gmail contact for the month. I conducted 12 percent more Google searches than in the previous month, and my top queries reflected the vacation I was planning: [rome] and [hotel].

Lastly, it's a potential gem for running a monthly security audit.

For example, if you notice sign-ins from countries where you haven't been or devices you've never owned, you can change your password immediately and sign up for the extra level of security provided by 2-step verification.

You can sign up for the new Account Activity dashboard here. It probably won't blow your mind off the bat, but it could be a handy—or at least interesting—tool to keep in mind.
