# Analytics

Here are some common ways people use Ellie's analytics feature to get a better sense of where they are spending their time.

## How am I spending my time (by label)?

The first chart shows a breakdown of where you spend your time broken down by label. This is great to get a sense of how you spend your time.

This can be good to see if you need to start shifting focus to other areas or if you are on the right track.

If you scroll down, you will see a breakdown of what % of yoru time is spent by label as well as a list of all completed tasks

## Average Brain dump task age

You can see what the average task age is in your Brain dump and take action if needed.

This is helpful because if this age is too high, then it probably signals that there are tasks that can be removed. It's recommended to clean out your Brain dump (And lists in general) every few weeks.

You can click the "Needs attention" button to pull up a table that shows you a list of tasks in the Braindump, sorted by age, and the ability to bulk delete (or mark as complete) items that are no longer relevant.

## Export to CSV

If you scroll down you will see a list of all completed tasks. At the top right you can click a button to Download a CSV copy of all your completed tasks with the estimate/actual time and date complete :)
